A substantial six-bedroom detached Victorian villa, formerly a guest house, set in the sought-after Ballifeary area of Inverness. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows, tiled fireplaces and decorative woodwork — combined with practical modern comforts such as gas central heating, double glazing and a large modern kitchen. With six double bedrooms each served by an en-suite, the layout suits a large family or an owner-operator seeking a guest-house or B&B business.
The ground floor provides generous reception space including a large lounge, formal dining room, conservatory, kitchen, utility and two ground-floor bedrooms with en-suites (one substantial annex). Upstairs are four further double bedrooms with en-suites. Outside, easily maintained lawned gardens, a slabbed patio, a sizable detached double garage and a brick-paved driveway provide parking for at least six vehicles — uncommon for the area.
This property offers clear investment and conversion potential due to its size, self-contained annex and previous B&B use. Practical advantages include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, mains services and included fitted appliances. Buyers should note the house dates to circa 1880: while many period features are intact, older properties typically need ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating where required.
Location is a strong selling point — within easy walking distance of local shops, Eden Court Theatre, leisure amenities and schools — but the wider area is recorded as very deprived and council tax is above average. That contrast may affect resale or rental prospects and running costs, so buyers should factor neighbourhood socioeconomic indicators and ongoing upkeep into decisions.
