Semi-detached bungalow for sale in Lochlann Avenue, Inverness IV2

Two-bedroom bungalow with renovation potential in desirable suburb

Backing onto the world-famous Culloden Woods and enjoying a peaceful location close to shops and services, 15 Loch Lann Avenue is also just a short drive from a large retail park and major employers. Its location, size and overall condition mean this property offers many excellent benefits and outstanding development opportunities.

An interior space of 57m2 and a delightful garden make this an excellent prospect for a first-time buyer looking to purchase and renovate their own home. Its proximity to several primary schools, parks, and play areas also makes it a particularly attractive property for a young family looking toward their future growth to invest in.

Constructed of honey-coloured brick and fronted by a sloping lawn area and a generous tarmac driveway, the bungalow has an attractive street-side appearance that sits well amongst the neatly kept neighbouring properties.

The bungalow is accessed via a timber-clad vestibule, into a comfortably proportioned living room which offers a pleasant area for relaxing and entertainment. There is room towards the kitchen for a small dining table and chairs and a large window allows plenty of light to fill the space.

The kitchen is fitted with basic cabinets that will require upgrading, and appliances will need to be installed, but it has a pleasant shape and offers several opportunities for layout. A large window and access to the garden enhance this potential further.

The two bedrooms have pleasant outlooks, and both are well-proportioned; one has a small built-in cupboard. Again, these will require attention, but it will result in two comfortable spaces that offer good potential.

The shower room is decorated in blue and has an accessible shower installed. There is also a white WC and wash hand basin.

The garden is accessible via the kitchen and benefits from a ramp leading into the rear of the property from the drive. Fenced with timber, the garden has an attractive sloping lawn that is further elevated to the rear. This elevated section is reached via stone steps, offering the potential for many fabulous design ideas to create a delightful, aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.

At just under 35 years old, this is a solidly built and well-designed property with the prospect of becoming a beautiful compact family home. It will require some upgrading and modernisation, but it offers an excellent investment opportunity for a young family looking to make their first step onto the property ladder and with an eye for the future.

About Culloden

At just four miles from the centre of Inverness and five miles from open countryside, Culloden has the benefits of both urban and rural living. The Culloden area is large, extending south from the A96 as far as Drumossie Moor, the site of the famous Battle of Culloden.

Technically a village, Culloden is unique for its mix of property styles, from country houses, tied cottages, local authority housing, architect-designed homes, and new developments that offer blended accommodation, from affordable housing to strikingly contemporary apartments. This diversity creates a welcoming, inclusive community, further enhanced by a high level of services and facilities within a relatively short distance, given its comparatively small population of about 3,800.

Culloden is renowned for its sensitive handling of the Battle of Culloden in 1746; the National Trust’s Visitor Centre is one of the most atmospheric sites in the country, attracting visitors from around the world. But Culloden is rich with many other areas of interest: Culloden Woods is an ancient site popular with walkers and riders and features a Clutie Well and a marvellous Gruffalo Walk popular with families.

There are several primary schools, plus a large secondary school, which is earmarked for a complete renovation, a medical centre, dentists, and a leisure centre with a swimming pool. Several places of worship are nearby, and independent shops, bars, and eateries, including award-winning Harry Gow’s head office, are all popular.

With its proximity to Inverness, Nairn, the Scottish School of Forestry, Inverness Campus and Inverness Retail Park, Culloden is an excellent place for commuters and families, making it a great place to live, work, and visit.
