Attractive Semi-Detached Three Bedroom Bungalow With Driveway, Garage And Gardens In A Popular Inverness Location

Set on the western side of Inverness, 8 Firthview Avenue is a semi-detached bungalow dating from the mid 1970s, surrounded by homes of a similar age and style. It sits within easy reach of local shops, schools and everyday amenities, with the city centre only a short distance away. With three bedrooms, a driveway and a garage, it’s a comfortable home in a popular part of the city.

The kitchen is arranged in a practical galley layout with modern base and wall units in a mix of warm wood tone and lighter white, paired with darker laminate worktops. Brushed metal handles run across the cabinet fronts, giving the space a clean look. Along one side, the sink sits beneath a tiled splashback in a simple rectangular tile effect pattern, with under cabinet lighting highlighting the work surfaces below. Beside, a stainless steel oven is set below a large gas hob, backed by a full height steel panel and an angled extractor hood above. The flooring is laid in a wood effect finish that ties in with the cabinets, while a set of glazed double doors at the far end opens directly to the rear garden, making the room feel connected to the outside.

The living room sits at the front of the bungalow and is shaped around a wide picture window that looks toward the street, framed with timber detailing. One wall is decorated with a grey tartan patterned wallpaper that adds style and contrast against the softer painted walls elsewhere in the room. The flooring is laid in a wood effect finish that runs through from the hallway, giving the space a consistent feel. Ceiling spotlights provide even illumination, and the room has a simple, open layout with space to arrange sofas and furniture in any way you desire.

The main bedroom has a calm feel, helped by its soft colour palette and the amount of built-in storage along one wall. The mirrored wardrobes keep everything tidy while bouncing light back into the space. The window, framed in timber, sits above a radiator to give the room a warm edge. The feature wallpaper on the far wall adds a gentle pattern without overpowering the space, and the wood effect flooring keeps the room practical and easy to furnish.

Bedroom 2 makes the most of its floor area. A built-in cupboard with panelled doors sits to one side, offering useful storage for clothes or household items. The flooring continues in the same style seen elsewhere in the home, and the overall shape of the room makes it easy to use as either a comfortable bedroom or a quiet room for work or hobbies.

Bedroom 3 has a more playful character, with plenty of space for furniture, shelving and a small desk. The window sits higher here, which helps keep the lower walls free and opens up the layout for different uses. The cupboard provides storage, and the neutral walls make it easy to imagine the room set up to suit a child, teen or as a compact office.

The bathroom mixes a modern look with a bit of personality. The wall behind the toilet and basin is finished in a bold leaf pattern design in soft greys and warm golds, adding a touch of character without overwhelming the space. The remaining walls are kept lighter, with a smooth painted finish beneath the large frosted window, which brings in plenty of daylight while keeping things private. The white suite includes a toilet and a wall mounted basin with darker tiles directly behind it adding a neat contrast. To the side, the bath has a mixer shower fitted above it, enclosed by a clear glazed screen. The shower area is lined in a light marble-effect panel, giving it a clean, low maintenance finish.

The home is fitted with uPVC double glazed windows throughout, with a uPVC front entrance door and French doors from the kitchen into the garden. Heating and hot water come from a Worcester gas boiler positioned in the loft, supplying a series of panel radiators around the bungalow. The system is managed by a programmer, a central room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, allowing the temperature to be adjusted easily from room to room.

Outside, the bungalow has garden space to the front, side and rear. The front has a lawn bordered by planting and a tarmac driveway that leads to a semi-detached garage, built in concrete block with a metal up and over door. A gate beside the garage links through to the back garden, where the space is divided between lawn and raised decking. The decking forms a neat platform beside the French windows, giving room for outdoor seating, while further raised sections sit to the side with painted fencing providing privacy. A small timber summerhouse stands on a paved corner at the back with the remaining boundaries formed with a mix of timber fencing and screening.

8 Firthview Avenue has a modern kitchen, three bedrooms, private gardens and the bonus of a driveway and garage. Everything you need is close by, yet the home itself feels calm and settled. If you’re looking for a well kept bungalow in a popular part of Inverness, this one is well worth seeing early.
