Nessdale is an imposing Victorian villa dating from 1892, set within mature grounds of approximately 0.63 acres that slope down to the banks of the River Ness. The house retains extensive period detail — ornate cornicing, stained glass, carved fireplaces and a sweeping central staircase — combined with generous living space including two large reception rooms, a south-facing conservatory and a formal dining room. Five well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, ground-floor shower room and substantial loft provide flexible accommodation for family life or further conversion (subject to permissions).
Externally the property offers rare river frontage, formal lawns, greenhouse and a detached double garage, plus a gravelled courtyard with parking for several cars. The plot and conservation-area setting create seclusion and strong kerb appeal, while the location remains within easy walking distance of Inverness city centre, Eden Court Theatre and local amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is a large, older building and will require ongoing maintenance to preserve its period fabric; any loft conversion or modernisation will need planning and listed/conservation-area consents. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The surrounding area is noted as having high levels of deprivation, which may influence some services and resale dynamics despite the property's prominent riverside setting.
Overall Nessdale suits a buyer seeking a significant period house with provenance and garden privacy — ideal for families wanting spacious rooms and character, or an owner-occupier keen to sympathetically restore and enhance an architecturally important villa.
