5 bed detached bungalow for sale

Scaniport, Inverness IV2

Silver Birches is a spacious five bedroom detached bungalow in Scaniport, sat within large garden grounds. It would suit a growing family or anyone looking for a substantial home in a peaceful countryside setting.

A shared private access road brings you to a broad gravel driveway in front of the house, with the single garage to one side. An electric car charging point has already been installed on the outside wall of the house. A covered entrance leads through the front door into a small vestibule and then on to the hallway, where neutral coloured walls, carpet and white internal doors continue through much of the house.

Glazed double doors from the hall open into a large living room, with plenty of space for a full sofa suite as well as additional furniture around the room. The wood burning stove is the obvious focal point, set within a white fireplace on a dark hearth. Warm beige walls and a light carpet keep the decoration understated, while a radiator sits beneath the broad front window overlooking the garden and trees beyond.

The kitchen dining room has plenty of space to cook, eat and spend time together, with the kitchen wrapping around one end and a separate dining area alongside. Cream cabinets provide plenty of storage, including full height cupboards, with long stretches of timber worktop running around three sides. The stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath the wide garden window, while the gas hob and built in oven are positioned opposite. Pale green walls and timber effect flooring give the whole room a warm, relaxed finish, while glazed double doors at the dining end open through to the conservatory.

Glazing runs around the conservatory and continues into the roof, with the gorgeous green surroundings visible from every side. There’s plenty of space for a full dining table as well as separate seating, and a fixed heater means the room can be used in the cooler months too. A glazed door then takes you straight out into the garden.

The utility room sits just off the kitchen and keeps the laundry and household jobs away from the main cooking area. A long worktop runs beneath a window with a stainless steel sink and space below for a washing machine. The lpg combi boiler is mounted here too, while an external door opens onto the side of the house.

There are five bedrooms in total, giving the house plenty of room for a large family, or anyone wanting space to work from home or for hobbies.

The master bedroom has the strongest decorative character, with botanical patterned wallpaper featuring foliage, flowers and birds on one wall. Two separate mirror fronted sliding wardrobes give you a large amount of built in storage, while a light coloured carpet and light painted walls balance the bolder pattern. Its en-suite has been fitted with a wide glazed shower enclosure at one end and a long wood effect vanity unit running along the side wall. A square basin sits above cupboards and drawers, with a broad mirror stretching across the wall above. The toilet is positioned alongside, while a chrome ladder style radiator completes the room.

Bedroom two takes a different approach with yellow floral wallpaper across one wall. Mirrored sliding wardrobes are built into the opposite side, while the remaining walls and carpet are kept neutral. Bedroom three has a quieter cream finish, again with a built in wardrobe with mirror fronted doors. A broad window occupies much of the outer wall letting in plenty of natural light. The fourth bedroom is another double, finished in neutral shades with cream carpet underfoot. This also has its own built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors which takes care of storage nicely.

The fifth bedroom is a little smaller and has a mustard yellow feature wall giving this room a character of its own. Like the others, this benefits from its own built-in wardrobe to ensure clothes and personal items can be kept neatly tucked away.

The main shower room has a clean, contemporary finish. As you walk in, a long wood effect vanity unit sits to the side, giving you a generous amount of storage. A square basin sits on top with a wide mirror on the wall above. A large glazed enclosure sits at the far end with an electric Triton shower fitted inside. The toilet is positioned next to it, beside the frosted window which is great for natural light and ventilation. A chrome ladder style radiator adds the finishing touch near the door.

The garden grounds are a major part of the appeal of this home too. Lawns extend around the house with hedges, shrubs and trees creating different areas as you move through it. Beside the conservatory is a gravelled seating area, while further lawn and plants continue around the side and rear. A greenhouse is already in situ, with its own gravelled area in front, while a timber shed provides you with valuable garden storage.

Silver Birches has a strong sense of privacy with generous grounds and a home you can move straight into and enjoy. Contact Hamish Homes now to arrange your private viewing.
