A bright two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offering straightforward, affordable accommodation in Hilton, Inverness. The lounge and kitchen face communal gardens, bringing in natural light, while two double bedrooms and useful built-in storage make the layout practical for everyday living. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC Band C give reasonable running costs for a property of this type.
This flat has clear appeal for first-time buyers seeking a low-entry home and for buy-to-let investors: it is fully compliant with current letting legislation and was previously a long-term let. Communal grounds and on-street parking add convenience, and the location provides easy access to local shops, schools, bus routes and nearby retail and business parks.
Buyers should note the building’s mid-20th century, Brutalist style and relatively low ceilings in places; the block’s concrete construction limits some cosmetic choices. The area is classified as very deprived and transitional, which may affect future resale pricing and tenant profiles. Service/factoring fee is modest at £205.80 per year, and council tax is low (Band A), which helps running costs.
Overall this is a sensible, no-fuss starter home or investment with immediate entry possible. Expect an average-sized living space (approximately 743 sq ft) that is ready to occupy but offers scope for cosmetic upgrades to personalise and potentially increase rental or resale value.
