Detached bungalow for sale in Braeside Park, Inverness IV2

Annandale is an outstanding family home at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in a prime location close to Culloden, including the soon-to-be upgraded Culloden Academy, and is within commuting distance of Inverness and Nairn. It is surrounded by agricultural fields and nearby woodland and has beautiful views of the Moray Firth and areas beyond.

Constructed in 1975 on a generously sized corner site, this property feels much newer, highlighted by its immaculate condition and well-presented decor. Well-finished throughout, with an interior area of 93 m2 and a palette of predominantly soft pinks, warm greys, and white, it offers a welcoming and spacious home.

The front of the house is expansive and neatly laid out, with a lawn and a gravel driveway leading to a garage. The hallway opens into an L-shaped open-plan living room and dining kitchen, well arranged to feel private and with clearly defined areas, but that also give a sense of space.

The grey-carpeted living room features a soft pink wall that houses a long glass-fronted gas fire, which offers efficiency and provides a striking contemporary focal point. A large window faces the front of the property, while the open-plan dining area to the rear delivers additional natural light from the east-facing patio doors.

An open-plan kitchen-dining room is full of natural light, and warm grey glossy floor and wall cabinets line three sides of the kitchen. Marble worktops and splash areas offset the fittings, including an inset sink, to create a stylish, practical, elegant working area that emphasises the sense of space. An open archway leads to the hall.

The hall is tastefully decorated with grey carpet and light grey walls, which works beautifully with the white-painted joinery and high-quality wooden doors.

The two larger bedrooms are similarly sized, each painted in the same pink as the living areas to create a consistent feel through the bungalow. These bedrooms have built-in cupboards with glossy doors to reflect light; one room faces the front, and the other the garden. A third bedroom is at the front of the house and finished in soft grey. It would make a good-sized bedroom or home office.

Beautifully decorated in whites and with great lighting, the shower room has a walk-in shower enclosure, WC, and a modern vanity with an inset basin.

A key feature of this beautiful home is its magnificent garden. Enclosed by stone walls and laid mainly with lawn, it boasts a fabulous rockery and grounds for vegetable, fruit, and flower gardening. The garden also benefits from a self-contained sunroom attached to the main property; with windows on three sides and an easterly outlook, this space is ideally placed to enjoy the garden, whatever the weather. The garden also has sumptuous views toward the Black Isle and beyond, especially from the back, which is slightly elevated.

Beautifully finished throughout and with a fabulous setting, Annandale is a very special property that will make a lovely home for a small family or a couple. With its highly sought-after location and peaceful outlook, it is expected to be a very popular listing.
