Full Description: - Little Bear Cottage – A Rare Gem in the Heart of Inverness

Little Bear Cottage is a property quite unlike any other. Nestled in the very heart of Inverness, this enchanting home has been lovingly reimagined through a full renovation, transformed from top to bottom into a residence of remarkable style and comfort. Every detail has been considered, every finish chosen with care, and the result is a home that feels as timeless as it is modern. Whether you dream of a welcoming permanent residence, a city retreat, or a holiday home with superb potential, this cottage is ready to deliver.

Stepping inside, you are immediately greeted by a beautifully finished entrance vestibule that sets the tone for the rest of the house. From here, the flow of the home unfolds naturally, guiding you towards the lounge, the convenient downstairs WC, and the staircase to the upper level.

The lounge, positioned to the front of the property, is a space that captures the true essence of comfort. It is generously proportioned, bathed in natural light, and anchored by a striking wood-burning stove which provides both warmth and character. The interior design here, as throughout the home, has been thoughtfully curated to combine soft, welcoming tones with a sense of elegance. This is a room equally suited for quiet evenings by the fire as it is for gathering with friends and family.

Beyond the lounge lies the kitchen, a space that feels at once contemporary and homely. Designed and crafted by Ashley Ann, it features crisp light grey shaker cabinetry paired with rich oak worktops that lend warmth and texture as well as a double Belfast sink. High-specification integrated appliances, including a Miele oven, induction hob, extractor fan, Neff fridge-freezer, dishwasher, tumble-dryer and Neff washing machine, ensure that the kitchen is not only beautiful but also exceptionally practical. There is abundant workspace for preparing meals, and a generous dining area provides the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The flooring in the kitchen and downstairs WC is Tumbled Limestone. From here, a door opens directly onto the private rear garden, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile single bedroom. Tastefully decorated in keeping with the rest of the property, this room could serve as a guest bedroom, a child’s room, or even a home office, depending on your needs. The convenience of a downstairs WC completes the layout of the lower level.

Upstairs, the master suite awaits. This is a room designed to impress, with a graceful bay-style window flooding the space with light and offering a delightful outlook. The proportions are generous, leaving ample room for freestanding furniture, while the décor creates a restful and serene atmosphere. The en-suite bathroom elevates the sense of luxury further, with a spacious walk-in shower, modern WC and sleek wash hand basin, all finished to an impeccable standard including Carrara Marble Herringbone tiles and herringbone flooring. The entire house has been painted using Farrow and Ball Paints, with designer Lucie Annabel wallpapers and wallpapers from designer Warner House.

The exterior of Little Bear Cottage is every bit as charming as the interior and features beautiful stone built wall which steps lead up to the landscaped lawn. To the rear lies a large private garden, fully enclosed for privacy and security. A patio area offers the perfect spot for summer dining or a morning coffee, while the expansive lawn provides a wonderful space for relaxation, play, or entertaining. It is a garden designed for enjoyment, with the flexibility to suit all lifestyles and in addition features its very own vegetable patch, with herbs such as mint and rosemary.

What truly sets this home apart, however, is the quality of its renovation. The transformation has been comprehensive, with every aspect renewed and refreshed. A brand-new kitchen and bathrooms bring modern convenience and style, while new double-glazed windows, plastered and freshly painted walls, and new flooring and carpets throughout create a crisp, inviting atmosphere. The addition of the wood-burning stove lends character and warmth, ensuring that the home feels as cosy as it is contemporary. Every detail has been chosen by an interior designer, resulting in a home that feels harmonious, stylish, and welcoming from the moment you step through the door.
Little Bear Cottage is more than just a property – it is an opportunity to own a truly unique home in one of the Highlands’ most desirable locations. Perfectly blending modern comfort with timeless character, it is ready to welcome its new owners without the need for further work. Whether you imagine it as a cherished home, a city retreat, or an exceptional holiday let, this is a property that will not only meet but exceed expectations.
