Distinctive B Listed Apartment With Two Double Bedrooms And Modern Interiors

From the moment you step through the door, it’s clear this is not a typical modern flat. Based in part of a former police station and jail dating back approximately 186 years, this B Listed home has the character and proportions of a historic building with the practicality expected from modern living. The rooms are generous and the high ceilings throughout create an immediate feeling of space.

The shared stairwell leads to a communal first floor landing before the private entrance opens into an exceptionally large hallway. More than simply a space to move around in, this area comfortably accommodates a full dining setup which immediately demonstrates the scale. Neutral décor, high ceilings and the long layout makes it a welcoming introduction to the home.

The living room is another impressive space, centred around a large window set within a deep wall that’s typical of a building of this age. Light neutral coloured walls and a striped carpet create a feeling of calm, while the size allows you space for a sofa and additional furniture without the room feeling crowded.

The kitchen combines modern styling with practical design. Cream cabinets wrap around two sides of the room and are paired with wood effect worktops and white metro style splashback tiling. A large central island makes for an informal dining and gathering area with space for seating along the sides. An integrated oven, electric hob and stainless steel extractor complete the layout, while large windows bring natural daylight into the room.

The first bedroom is a generous double decorated in soft grey tones. A striking grey and white striped feature wall creates a focal point, while wall mounted reading lights add a contemporary touch. A large heater on the internal wall ensures the room stays warm when you need it to.

Bedroom two is another comfortable double bedroom with peach toned walls and a large window with a heater below. The room enjoys a pleasant outlook and also benefits from direct access into the Jack and Jill bathroom.

The Jack and Jill bathroom is notably larger than many apartment bathrooms. The walls are painted a mix of light and dark grey separated by a white dado rail which runs through the centre of the room, and is complemented by tile effect vinyl flooring below. The suite includes a bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and toilet. A modern, black heated towel rail, built-in storage units and a cupboard housing the hot water tank adds further practicality to the room.

The apartment retains its original timber sash and case windows, all of which are single glazed and contribute significantly to the building’s historic character. Heating is provided by electric panel heaters throughout, while hot water is supplied via the tank located within the bathroom cupboard. Residents benefit from communal parking and shared entrance facilities, with the building containing a total of seven apartments.

Few homes can claim such an interesting history while also delivering this level of space and quality finishes. This apartment is an opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Dingwall’s history so contact Hamish Homes today and arrange your viewing.
