Caulfield Road South, Inverness, IV2 5BH

Merlin is a spacious and distinctive detached home, set in a generous and mature plot on Caulfield Road South, with extensive gardens and a self-contained annexe ideal for guests or multi-generational living. With flexible living across two floors and a thoughtfully designed garden, this is a home that offers space to grow, entertain and enjoy both inside and out.
The main house opens into a crisp white vestibule, with coat hooks and clean wooden flooring leading into the hallway. From here, the lounge is a generous size and is designed to feel both refined and comfortable. A large bay window draws in natural light, highlighting the soft neutral palette and elegant timber flooring. A contemporary wall-mounted gas fire creates a natural focal point, framed by a decorative timber mantle that adds warmth and character. With room to spare for multiple seating arrangements, it’s a space made for relaxing or hosting in equal measure.
The dining room is bright and welcoming. A gloss black fire surround with open hearth adds a traditional focal point, while the continuation of quality wooden flooring ties the space into the rest of the ground floor. The room easily accommodates a full dining table and chairs, with extra space for additional furniture. A decorative light fighting adds a stylish finishing touch and helps set the tone for evening use.
The kitchen has a classic feel that suits the character of the home. Cream units and quality wooden worktops sit alongside a white Belfast sink positioned beneath the window, giving the space both charm and function. An Aga adds traditional appeal, complemented by built-in ovens and a five-burner gas hob with extractor above for day-to-day cooking. Coloured tiles line the walls around the worktops, adding spark and depth, while timber flooring carries through, linking the spaces with warmth and flow.
Next to the kitchen, the utility room provides extra storage space, with room for a large fridge-freezer and additional shelving, keeping the main kitchen clear and organised.
Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms. The first is a spacious double, finished with neutral walls, soft grey carpet and a wide window with radiator beneath. A small built-in wardrobe sits to one side with louvred white doors. The second bedroom is a smaller single, with wooden flooring, cream walls and a radiator beneath the window.
The ground floor bathroom is bright and functional, finished with matching wall and floor tiling for a clean, unified look. A large bath with overhead shower sits along one side, while the opposite wall holds a basin and toilet, keeping the layout simple and efficient. A chrome towel radiator adds both warmth and a polished finish to the space.
The upstairs landing has a Velux rooflight that brings in natural light, with enough space for a small reading corner or a quiet place to sit.
The main bedroom on this floor feels expansive and full of character. Sloped ceilings and soft neutral tones create a calm atmosphere, while the exposed brick chimney stack adds texture and makes a striking focal point. There’s built-in storage to one side and slimline radiators along the far wall, with plenty of space to configure the room to suit your style. It's a flexible space that could easily double as a studio, workspace or private retreat.
The second upstairs bedroom is a bright, comfortable double with windows on two sides and a slim radiator positioned beneath one of them. Neutral walls and a light-toned carpet keep the room feeling fresh and easy to furnish, with plenty of space for a double bed, storage and even a desk or dressing table depending on how you'd like to use it.
Also on this floor is a modern wet room, fitted with a walk-in shower that’s tiled for a clean, finished look. A chrome towel rail adds warmth while a Velux-style window above keeps the space feeling open and fresh. Next door, a separate toilet offers added convenience, with coordinated floor and wall tiles, a compact basin and a heated towel rail to complete the room.
Attached to the main home is a private one-bedroom annexe with its own private entrance, offering a flexible space that could suit independent living, guests or potential income as a holiday or long term rental. The open-plan living and kitchen area has laminate flooring, cream walls and spot lighting. Light coloured cabinets run along one wall with matching worktops and splashbacks and an integrated oven and hob. There’s space for a dining table and seating area, with natural light from side windows and two Perspex roof domes above. The bedroom is a comfortable double, also finished in cream tones, with multiple windows. The adjoining shower room is bright and modern, with a white suite and fitted storage cupboards, making the annexe entirely self-sufficient.
The garden is a standout feature in its own right. It stretches around the property, with large lawned sections, well-kept flower beds, shrubs and mature trees. The site slopes in places and is bordered at the lower end by a burn, creating a natural boundary and a real sense of privacy.
A large summer house sits in its own corner of the garden, painted in green with brown trim and offering a lovely space for relaxing or entertaining. Just in front, a raised timber deck creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining or evening drinks. Other features include a number of other outbuildings including a tree house and a greenhouse. The driveway is laid in gravel with ample space for parking and there is an integral boiler room accessed from the rear of the home.
Merlin offers something rare: a substantial home with character, flexibility and outdoor space that feels genuinely special. With its self-contained annexe, beautifully kept gardens and scope for multi-generational living or additional income potential, this is a property that works on so many levels. If you're looking for a home that stands apart in both setting and scale, this is your opportunity.
