Fairfield Road, Inverness, IV3 5QD

This substantial detached Victorian home carries the air of a property built over 120 years ago, with the practicality of six bedrooms, five of which have en-suites. With a spacious 201m² of internal floor space, the accommodation would be perfect as a large family home or for those looking for a guest house business to run.


When you enter the home you find yourself in an elegant central hallway that immediately hints at the age and character of the property. The lower half of the walls are painted green topped with a timber dado rail, while the upper walls are painted white. A grey patterned carpet runs through the space where a series of archways and traditional panelled doors add to the period charm of the home.


The dining room is an impressive space with a large bay window facing the front and a second window at the opposite end. Neutral coloured walls are complemented by stylish cornicing, picture rails and deep skirtings. A decorative fireplace with an open fire creates a natural focal point, while a radiator positioned beside the door helps to ensure the room stays warm year round. The size of the room comfortably accommodates a family dining table and makes it equally suited to entertaining or larger family gatherings.


Across the hall, the living room enjoys similarly generous proportions. The bay window to the front, combined with an additional side window, creates a bright space throughout the day while neutral cream walls work well with the soft grey carpet. The brick built fireplace houses a gas fire that’s been designed in the style of a traditional open fire. Beside the fireplace, a built-in alcove includes shelves and a small cupboard. A large radiator is fitted to the wall near the door.

Along the corridor is a small area that’s perfect to use as an office or study space. Timber lined walls and ceiling create a distinctive feel, while the window provides natural light, too.


The kitchen is another standout space in the home. White cabinets and drawers are paired with grey worktops and clean white walls, giving it a modern look and finish. A tall unit incorporates a built-in double oven with a built-in microwave above, while the induction hob is set into the worktop alongside, with a stainless steel extractor hood overhead. The large central island with space for seating gives you a spot for a quick bite to eat or a morning coffee. The room is a large size and at the far end there is plenty of space for a dining table. Grey wood effect flooring completes the room.


A timber louvred door leads from the kitchen into a useful utility cupboard. Shelving provides storage while there is dedicated space for laundry appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen free from the washing duties.


The ground floor has a convenient WC, decorated with white wall tiling to mid way and painted white walls above. A small frosted window provides natural light and ventilation while the basin sits on a compact vanity cabinet with useful storage beneath.


Two of the home’s six bedrooms can also be found on the ground floor. Bedroom one is a comfortable double room decorated in a dusky colour palette. A window to the side provides natural light, while a radiator on the opposite wall brings the warmth. The en-suite bathroom here is fitted with a full four piece suite including a bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet and wash basin. Cream coloured wet wall panels line the walls, creating a clean and low maintenance finish.


The second bedroom is slightly larger with neutral coloured walls and a grey carpet. The size of the room allows plenty of space for a bed and additional furniture. A door to the side leads directly into the en-suite shower room which has a cubicle, toilet and hand basin. Black wet wall panelling behind the basin and within the shower enclosure contrasts smartly with the other white walls for a contemporary finish.


The staircase is another eye catching detail of the home, with traditional timber balustrade and handrail spiralling up to the first floor. A green carpet continues up the stairs and onto the landing where it branches across several levels to connect the remaining rooms.


The first floor shower room is fitted with a large shower enclosure complete with an electric shower. Red wet wall panels within the cubicle contrast with cream patterned wallpaper elsewhere in the room. A vanity unit provides storage beneath the wash basin, while the toilet sits opposite. A tall frosted window to the side brings natural light into the room whilst maintaining privacy.


Bedroom three is a comfortable double room with clean neutral walls and a grey carpet. A large window draws daylight into the room. The en-suite is finished in simple white tones and includes a square corner shower cubicle, toilet and sink, creating a practical and easy to clean space.


The fourth is one of the larger bedrooms on this floor. Light cream patterned wallpaper adds character, while the grey carpet complements the neutral décor. Windows on two separate walls bring light into the room from different directions. There’s room in here for additional bedroom furniture without compromising floor space. The en-suite follows a similar design to bedroom three, fitted with a corner shower cubicle, toilet and basin against a backdrop of clean white finishes.


Bedroom five is another generously sized room and is currently arranged with two single beds. Cream painted walls and grey carpet provide a neutral backdrop, while a wide window brings plenty of daylight into the main section of the room. An additional elongated area extends beyond the sleeping space with a second window at the far end. This section lends itself particularly well to a reading corner or somewhere to display a decorative piece of furniture. This en-suite shower room has its own individual character, with grey marble effect wet wall panels within the shower enclosure and continuing along the wall behind the toilet and basin. The remaining walls are finished in white, creating a smart contrast.


The sixth and final bedroom is another good sized double room, again currently accommodating two single beds with ease. Neutral walls and grey carpet continue the theme found throughout the first floor rooms while to one side is a wash basin fitted on top of a storage cabinet.


The exterior immediately reflects the home's age and presence, with attractive stonework, decorative detailing around the windows. The front of the property is bordered by mature shrubs and flowers which add an attractive burst of colour. To the side, a large parking area provides space for multiple vehicles and leads to the detached single garage. The rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating paving slabs and stone chippings to create a practical outdoor space.


Properties of this size, character and versatility are difficult to find within such easy reach of Inverness city centre. With six bedrooms, multiple living spaces and extensive private parking, this is a home capable of adapting to a wide variety of needs.
