100 Year Old Cottage With Three Bedrooms And Private Garden Just A Short Walking Distance From Inverness City Centre

At around a hundred years old, this home has the kind of character that has stood the test of time. Whether you’re looking for your first home, somewhere with room to grow, or an investment close to the city centre, this is a property that ticks a lot of boxes.

You enter through the porch, giving you a handy buffer from the elements. Straight through the hallway is the kitchen which sits at the rear of the house. Dark worktops sit on top of timber effect cabinets which provide generous storage space. The sink sits beneath the rear window overlooking the garden, while the gas boiler is neatly positioned on the wall nearby. There’s space for a freestanding cooker as well as a washing machine and undercounter fridge, while an additional breakfast bar is handy for light bites or morning coffees. A rear door provides direct access to the garden.

The ground floor bedroom gives you excellent flexibility. Whether you need a bedroom, a playroom, a second sitting room or somewhere to work from home, this room can easily adapt. Light cream walls give you a blank slate while the front facing window has a radiator below to keep the space warm.

The lounge is a comfortable room with cream walls, timber flooring and a large front facing window bringing daylight into the space. There’s plenty of room to arrange seating without feeling crowded, while the staircase rises neatly from the far corner. Beneath the stairs is useful additional storage space, helping to make the most of every inch of space.

Upstairs, the short landing gives access to the two additional bedrooms and the bathroom, while maintaining the cottage character created by the roofline.

Bedroom two enjoys the character that only a dormer room can provide. The bay style dormer window creates a lovely focal point while also giving you additional floor space. Cream walls keep the room feeling bright, while the sloping ceiling adds personality. Built-in storage has been incorporated into one wall with open shelves between two cupboards, making excellent use of the available space.

Bedroom three has a very similar character, again benefitting from a dormer window which creates extra usable floor area. Cream walls and a fitted carpet provide a simple backdrop that’s easy to personalise.

The bathroom has been fitted with a white three piece suite with a bath and overhead shower, pedestal wash basin and toilet. White tongue and groove panelling covers the lower half of the walls, while the upper walls are painted white. A frosted window provides natural ventilation and privacy, with shelving above the toilet adds useful everyday storage.

The rear garden has a gravel seating area right outside the back door, leading onto a section of lawn. Tall timber fencing surrounds the space, giving you a privacy. A timber shed with a felt covered pitched roof provides useful storage.

The flexible layout of this home, private garden and convenient location make it a home that will suit a wide range of buyers. If you’ve been looking for a property with genuine character and plenty of potential to make your own, 29 Madras Street deserves a place at the top of your viewing list.
