Southside Road, Inverness, IV2 3BG

Situated in Crown, one of Inverness’s most popular and prestigious areas, 24a Southside Road is a delightful house built in 1974. With six bedrooms and generous living spaces, this delightful property offers an attractive and substantial home for a large family.

Discreet and set back from the main road, the house is accessed via a long drive that leads to a double garage. It is just a short walk from Inverness City Centre and falls in the catchment area for Crown Primary and Millburn Academy, both highly respected schools.

Upon viewing the property from the drive, it appears the house is just on one floor; however, a lower floor contains several bedrooms and further storage, creating a massive 207 m2 of interior space. This is emphasised by its large hallway, which is finished in light neutrals and has varnished joinery and architraves.

The generously sized double-aspect living room overlooks the garden. A third interior window adds to the sense of space and light, and a large stone fireplace with a hearth creates a striking point of interest in the room.

The large kitchen is in a double L-shaped arrangement, creating a practical and attractive layout that offers plenty of circulation room. A white timber-lined ceiling and pale cream floor and wall cabinets enhance the light and airy ambience, and dark grey worksurfaces and blue-grey tiles provide contrast to create a fresh feeling ambiance. A large utility room provides access to the garden and leads to a blue and white decorated cloakroom with a wash-hand basin and WC.

A large dining room, painted in a neutral palette, has views of the garden and the drive.

The upper floor benefits from three bedrooms; the principal bedroom is finished with a pink feature wall with an elevated garden view and a large built-in wardrobe.

A delightful smaller room has a built-in wardrobe with pink-painted doors and a view of the garden. Two smaller bedrooms, one painted white, the other decorated in blues and with a built-in wardrobe, are comfortably sized and either could be used as an office or craft room.

The family shower room is elegantly finished with grey panels and has a large shower enclosure, and a vanity with a vessel wash-hand basin and a WC.

Carpeted stairs in a white panelled stairwell lead down to the lower floor, where there are two further bedrooms; these large rooms both have intriguing eye-level views of the garden but with windows suitably located to allow the rooms to be filled with natural light.

This floor also has a small sitting room that offers a fantastic space as a playroom, home office, or somewhere for teenagers to use away from the rest of the family.

The lower floor also has an attractive bathroom that is finished in grey and has a bath with a shower over it, a wrap-around vanity with a vessel basin and a WC.

Two generously sized, undecorated box roooms provide valuable additional storage.

Given its city centre location, a notable feature of the house is its large, timber-fenced garden, which is beautifully designed and laid mainly with lawn and herbaceous borders.

24a Southside is an attractive house that is just as lovely as it is. But it also has a huge amount of potential and with just a little decorative updating, it could easily evolve into a stylish contemporary property. But even without that, it remains a fabulous home for a large or multi-generational family.
