Detached bungalow for sale in Argyle Street, Inverness IV2

This charming traditional cottage is located in Crown, considered one of the most desirable areas in the City of Inverness. The property was constructed in 1900 and is along a pretty lane of Victorian one and two-storey cottages. The cottage has a south-facing front that is entered from a neat garden enclosed in stone and laid with gravel. Beyond the hallway, which is decorated in soft grey and whites, the interior is finished in a rough cast wall texture, and the property features a warm terracotta palette in many spaces. With a floor area of 77 m2, the property has generously proportioned rooms, particularly its charming living room, which has a wooden fireplace and a slightly coombed beamed ceiling. The room benefits from hard flooring, wall lighting and alcove shelving.

13 Argyle Street has a fabulous, spacious, well-designed kitchen offering much potential. The L-shaped setting, with an additional preparation area, is finished with off-white cabinets and stylish black surfaces, including tiling. A breakfast bar provides convenient space for dining, however, this could easily be replaced to create room for a freestanding kitchen table and chairs. A newer extension serves as a utility area, but its plentiful windows and timber lining, coupled with the generous space within the kitchen itself, means this room could instead avail itself for use as a sunroom.

The first bedroom is to the front of the property and is simply decorated. This room could also be considered for use as a home office for remote working. The principal bedroom lies to the rear of the house and enjoys a fabulous view of the garden through its two large windows. This generous space is L-shaped and features an alcove with open storage and benefits from a dog leg, which provides privacy from the hall and other areas of the property. The bathroom has been fitted with white sanitaryware and includes a bath with shower over it, wash hand basin and WC.

Outside, a large wooden fenced garden is laid mainly with gravel and includes a pretty timber summer house and two timber stores. Several mature plants soften the practical, easy-to-manage exterior. This charming property in a peaceful residential area, which is also popular with visitors to Inverness. The house will require a little care to elevate to contemporary standards and some aesthetic treatment to lend a fresh look and finish may be considered. However, it is a delightful house for a small family or someone who may work from home but who also enjoys being close to the City Centre.
