11 Fairfield Road, Inverness, IV3 5QA

Charden Villa is a substantial and flexible semi-detached property situated on Fairfield Road, just a short walk from Inverness city centre. With six bedrooms spread across two floors, multiple reception spaces, a rear conservatory and a fully self-contained timber chalet in the garden, the home offers both scale and versatility. This property is well suited to large families or guesthouse accommodation.
With origins dating back over a century and extended in the latter half of the 20th century, the home blends traditional character with a practical layout. The front garden is laid with paving and stone chips, with permit parking available on the street in front.
Entry is via a timber front door into a vestibule and wide hallway, finished in neutral colours and a rich red carpet that continues up the staircase. The dining room sits to the right and features a stone fireplace with an electric fire insert, flanked by two alcoves with built-in lower cupboards and display space above. A large front-facing window draws in natural light and the red patterned carpet complements the traditional décor.
At the end of the hall, the sitting room is generously sized, with space for multiple sofas and furnishings. A decorative white fireplace surround, chandelier light fitting and classic styling create an elegant yet comfortable space. Doors from here lead directly into the conservatory which is a bright room with cream-painted walls, blue carpet and patio doors that open to the rear garden.
The kitchen is a spacious and practical room, fitted with an extensive range of wooden floor-standing and wall-mounted cabinets, finished with black acrylic worktops and matching splashbacks. Sandstone-coloured tiles surround the worktop areas, tying the design together. A built-in double oven is housed within a tall unit while a gas hob is set into a long counter run, providing generous preparation space. A breakfast bar, formed from the same worktop material, creates a casual dining spot, ideal for everyday use. The layout offers ample storage and workspace, with a rear door giving direct access to the garden.
Also on the ground floor is the first bedroom, a spacious double with patterned wallpaper, red carpet and a front-facing window with radiator beneath. The en-suite includes a toilet, wash hand basin and shower cubicle with Mira mains shower above.
A separate ground floor toilet is tucked away beneath the stairs, with a white toilet and sink, grey-toned walls and a small storage cupboard.
The rear landing on the first floor leads to three of the bedrooms along with two shower rooms and additional storage. The first of the bedrooms is a double room with attic-style sloped ceilings and a dormer window drawing in natural light. Decorated in soft neutral tones, it includes its own wash hand basin with a radiator positioned alongside. The layout offers enough space for a bed and key furniture items, making it a practical guest or family room.
A larger double bedroom, also with sloping ceilings and a dormer window, is finished with a red carpet and a feature wallpapered wall in soft, neutral tones, adding texture and visual interest without overwhelming the space. The room is currently arranged with two single beds, though there’s ample space for a single large bed and additional furniture. This bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a toilet, basin and a corner shower enclosure, served by a Mira mains shower.
The third rear bedroom is slightly more compact but still a full double, finished with light blue feature wallpaper on one wall and white painted walls elsewhere. A dormer window brings in light, and a radiator is placed beneath. The room is neatly proportioned and works well as a guest space, study or single bedroom.
Also off the rear landing are two separate shower rooms. One is styled in a classic neutral finish, with soft grey patterned and white painted walls. It includes a square corner shower cubicle, toilet and wash hand basin. The second is finished in light cream wetwall panelling throughout, with a bold contrast provided by deep red panelling inside the shower cubicle. It also includes a toilet and sink, offering a fully enclosed second option for upstairs use.
To the front, two further double bedrooms are accessed from the main landing. One features a red carpet, dormer window and neutral wallpaper with a patterned feature wall. It currently accommodates twin beds with room for additional furniture. The sixth bedroom fits a double bed comfortably, with a window to the front, red carpet and neutral paintwork.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed by timber fencing painted in warm brown and includes a small paved patio just outside the conservatory, ideal for seating or outdoor dining. Beyond this, a lawned area stretches to the back with a timber shed on one side and a timber-clad chalet on the other. The chalet is self contained with a toilet, lounge area and an additional room that could function as a bedroom, home office or studio. It is fitted with power and lighting, making it a useful detached space for guests or work-from-home use.
The home is double glazed with replacement PVC windows and doors. Heating is provided by a wall-mounted boiler located in the sitting room cupboard, supplying water-filled radiators throughout. Hot water is stored in a 117-litre insulated cylinder with electric immersion backup and thermostat control.
