1 Victoria Terrace, Inverness, Highland, IV2

No 1 Victoria Terrace is a C Listed, end terraced house in the Crown area of Inverness. It’s understood that the terrace was originally built as officers accommodation for the Cameron barracks and number 1 was the Colonel’s house. The property is in a delightful, peaceful setting, with lovely views over the city and within easy reach of the city centre and all main routes. The house is architect designed and thought to have been designed by Alexander Ross who was also the architect for Inverness cathedral and many other buildings and churches in Inverness.

Inverness has all the facilities of a thriving modern city, while the mix of old and new has allowed the city to retain much of its historic dignity and strong Highland culture which blend well with modern theatre and the arts. The city has good communications by both road and rail and the airport, about a twenty minute drive away, offers regular flights to the south and Europe.
The countryside of the Scottish Highlands is varied from the fertile, rolling farmland of the coast to the inland moorlands and rugged mountains. This unspoilt landscape provides a haven for many rare and protected species of wildlife as well as a wide range of rural leisure and sporting opportunities from way-marked walks and cycle trails on the Black Isle, to skiing and adventure sports in the Cairngorms National Park.

The current owners purchased 1 Victoria Terrace about 14 years ago and have fully renovated both the house and grounds to create an exceptional property. The work carried out includes refurbishing some of the original sash windows, upgrading the electrics, upgrading the heating and plumbing systems, a new kitchen and utility room, removing some of the shower rooms and installing new bathrooms. Where possible, original features have been retained, restored or replicated, while the fittings and furnishings are of the highest standard and include Jim Lawrence light switches and door furniture, Anta tiling and blinds along with Farrow and Ball and Little Green paint finishes and Cole and Son, Zoffany and Laura Ashley wall papers.

The clever and individual interior design of the house has created a unique family living space where comfort blends with character and expression and it is this outstanding combination that saw 1 Victoria Terrace awarded first place in the BBC 2021 Scotland’s Home of the Year, Highland regional heat.
