Tomatin, Inverness, Highland, IV13

Occupying a wonderfully private position amongst mature woodland is an individually appealing and substantial detached bungalow with beautifully proportioned accommodation, generous grounds and an excellent degree of versatility. Approached through a gated entrance and set comfortably within its own established surroundings, the property combines a peaceful Highland setting with impressive living space and a highly adaptable detached annexe.

The accommodation is arranged on one level and has been thoughtfully configured to provide both generous family living space and a good degree of separation between the main reception areas and bedrooms.

At the heart of the house is the particularly impressive kitchen and dining room, a bright and sociable space designed equally well for day-to-day living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry with contrasting work surfaces, incorporating a substantial Rangemaster cooker with Calor gas hob. There is ample space for a large dining table and additional furniture, while French doors open directly onto the private courtyard, allowing the room to connect naturally with the garden during the warmer months. A separate useful utility and storage area adds further practicality to the layout.

The lounge is a generous and comfortable reception room, with a broad window drawing in excellent natural light and providing views across the surrounding grounds. A substantial fireplace with wood-burning stove creates an attractive focal point and gives the room a warm, relaxed character.

The bedroom accommodation is equally well considered. The main bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from its own adjoining walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. Five further bedrooms provide considerable flexibility for family, guests or alternative uses, with several enjoying pleasant aspects across the gardens.

Two bathrooms serve the remaining accommodation and have been finished in a contemporary style. One is particularly striking, incorporating a freestanding bath together with a separate walk-in shower, while the second provides a practical and well-appointed family bathroom.

The detached annexe is a particularly valuable and versatile addition to Woodlands House. Currently arranged with a living/bedroom area, kitchenette and separate shower room, it also benefits from its own enclosed private garden and a dedicated parking space, giving it a welcome degree of independence from the main house. This makes it especially well suited to guest accommodation, extended family use, home working or a range of other purposes, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the setting is one of the property’s defining features. Set within substantial and well-established grounds, with expansive lawned areas, mature trees and areas of natural woodland combining to provide both privacy and a strong sense of place.

A private paved and gravel courtyard lies between the wings of the house and is directly accessible from the kitchen and dining room, as well as the hallway, creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Elsewhere within the grounds are established planting, pathways, a covered log store, a well positioned bin store and a large timber workshop, fully insulated and benefiting from a power supply. This offers excellent practical space for hobbies, storage, a home workshop or other flexible uses.

The property is approached via a private gated entrance opening onto a generous lock block driveway providing ample parking. The mature woodland surrounding the house gives the property a particularly secluded feel while retaining good accessibility.

Woodlands House benefits from LPG heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of Band D.

Tomatin is well placed for those seeking a quieter Highland lifestyle while retaining straightforward access to Inverness and the wider region. The nearby A9 provides convenient road connections north towards Inverness and south towards Aviemore, the Cairngorms and central Scotland.

The A9 provides particularly convenient communications, with Tomatin lying approximately 16 miles south of Inverness and around 15 miles north of Aviemore. Inverness offers an extensive range of shopping, leisure and professional services together with secondary schooling, a university, railway station and airport, while Aviemore provides further amenities and year-round access to the Cairngorms National Park and its extensive recreational opportunities. For those seeking a country lifestyle while retaining practical access to the Highland capital, the property occupies a particularly appealing position.
