20 Hillhead Road, Tornagrain, Inverness, Inverness-shire

No.20 Hillhead Road

One of the first homes built in the traditionally-styled, sustainable new village of Tornagrain, this fantastically located and presented mid-terrace opens the door to a potentially relaxing and rewarding lifestyle for its new owners.

The House

This elegant property makes practical and inspiring use of its spaces, both inside and out.

The front door opens into an entrance vestibule which currently functions as a 'bootroom' and lamp-lit area for keeping keys to hand; setting a scene of style-infused practicality.

Stairs straight opposite the door lead you upstairs.


Upstairs

A useful boiler cupboard sits at the top of the staircase.

A door to the right leads into the main bedroom (3.6m x 3.2m); a stylish, spacious room offering uninterrupted views over the field and forest beyond (and with binoculars right across the Moray Firth). Double mirrored wardrobes enhance the feeling of space, despite the king size bed and large scale furnishings.

Opposite is another excellently proportioned bright double bedroom (4.3m x 2.9m), providing a built in shelved wardrobe, and space to both work and unwind.

Between the bedrooms sits the bathroom (2m x 2.3m); a fresh, neat room featuring a bath with overhead shower, heated towel rail and practical cupboard space, above and below the sink.


Downstairs

A door directly to the left of the front door opens into the kitchen-diner (2.1m x 3.5m); a sleek, fully-fitted area which offers a sunny space to cook, chat and relax - or work if required - thanks to the space-defying island and armchair currently in situ.

Along the corridor on the same side, the downstairs WC (2.2m x 1.4m) is a bold, modern space located directly opposite a well-sized, practical understairs cupboard.

The door at the end of the corridor leads into a welcoming lounge (4.3m x 3.6m), which also functions as a dining room, with double doors opening out onto the patio and garden.

In its present incarnation this room seats 10 people comfortably. Views of the garden, and trees beyond provide a calming and uplifting backdrop from an array of different seating spots.


Garden

The garden here is not only a real highlight, it is also a unique find in Tornagrain. By some stroke of luck, this property is the proud possessor of two back gardens – a fantastic find in Tornagrain where private or practical outdoor space can often be at a premium, even with the largest properties.

The two garden areas are linked by a corridor and can be closed off from each other, or opened up to create a connecting space conducive to private space and hobbies; or joint endeavours and pottering.

The garden nearest to the house is a lovely space to unwind in, with a small secluded patio, garden tap, and various points to sit and chase the sun.

Down ‘the avenue’ to the next outdoor space, the ‘back garden’ is more diminutive but no less useful. It features a great sized shed and room to relax by a firepit; fix a bike or write your next novel (perhaps converting the shed into a writing retreat to achieve this!).

There’s adequate area here also to store all bins neatly and out of sight, easy to roll out the back gate and through the private double drive to the kerb for uplift.

Location and Facilities

Tornagrain marries traditional architecture with the comforts and conveniences of modern-day living. It is one of a handful of beautifully designed, new, eco-friendly towns springing up in carefully sited locations across the UK.

Still retaining a village feel, Tornagrain is an idyllic, sought-after place to live with green spaces galore; a pharmacy; a well-stocked corner shop; a café; and further resident rewards, such as garden allotments and free 24/7 access to the gated tennis courts.

All of which are literally just a hop and a skip from this homely haven on the centrally located Hillhead Road.

A whole host of cycle routes and walks are immediately accessible from the village.

For commuting or travelling further afield, 1 minute’s drive will take you to the A96 where you can link directly North or South, through to Inverness, Nairn or the new Green Port at Ardersier.

2 minutes’ drive has you at the recently opened railway stop for Inverness airport, and in just 5 minutes you can be parked at Inverness Airport itself; ready to fly as far as you fancy.


Education

Schooling is available for primary aged children at Croy Primary, just up the hill from Tornagrain.

A new purpose-built primary is due to be opened in Tornagrain by 2030. Secondary-aged pupils are automatically entitled to attend nearby Culloden Academy with a school bus picking them up and dropping them back off in the centre of the village.
