Overton Avenue, Inverness, IV3 8RR

This detached three bedroom bungalow on Overton Avenue in Scorguie sits in an elevated part of Inverness with views across the city towards the Kessock Bridge. With a particularly generous garden behind, it would suit a family, a couple wanting more space or anyone looking for a bungalow with plenty of room both inside and out.

The lounge is one of the largest rooms in the house and the first thing that catches your attention is the stone effect fireplace. It stretches across a good section of one wall, with an electric decorative fire set into one side, a display area alongside and a long timber mantel running across the top. On the outer wall, large aluminium double glazed patio doors make the most of the elevated position with views right across Inverness towards the Kessock Bridge. Light coloured walls and a traditional patterned carpet keep the rest of the room simple, leaving plenty of floor space for a full sofa suite.

The kitchen sits towards the front of the house and has a warm, traditional style, with timber cabinets running around the room beneath speckled worktops. Square tiles cover the splashback, broken up by decorative feature tiles in blue and green. The white acrylic sink and drainer sit directly beneath the wide window, while a gas hob is built into the worktop along the side. A black oven and microwave are stacked into tall housing. There’s also space beneath the worktop for a washing machine, while at the other end a curved breakfast bar gives you somewhere for a quick coffee.

The dining room sits directly between the kitchen and living room, giving you a separate space for meals. It comfortably fits a full sized table and chairs, with a wide window bringing in daylight and warm timber trims continuing around the room.

The Jack and Jill bathroom is a particularly useful part of the layout, with access from both the hallway and the main bedroom. This is a large room with a full sized white bath along one wall, and a separate curved glazed shower cubicle opposite. The white basin is set into a long grey worktop with timber effect cabinets above and below, giving you far more bathroom storage than you normally find. A large mirror stretches across the wall above the basin, while the toilet sits beneath the frosted window. Completing the room is a tall chrome heated towel rail which is fitted near the shower.

The master bedroom is a good sized double with a large mirror fronted fitted wardrobe built into one wall. The room has a warm, traditional finish with timber trims around the window and a light carpet underfoot. There’s plenty of space around the bed for additional furniture. One of its biggest benefits is the door leading directly into the Jack and Jill bathroom, giving this bedroom its own access while the bathroom remains available from the main hallway as well.

Bedroom two is a narrower room but still gives you useful space, with a window at the far end and a built in cupboard providing storage. The third bedroom is finished in warm cream tones and would work well as a single bedroom.

The rear garden is large, stretching away from the bungalow in one broad sweep of lawn. Tall hedges, shrubs and trees around the boundaries add plenty of greenery, while the sloping site helps open up the outlook beyond. Immediately beside the house and garage is a large raised timber deck, giving you the perfect spot to enjoy the views in the warmer weather.

Out the front, the driveway leads to a detached single garage built from concrete and blockwork, giving you useful covered parking or storage alongside the already generous outside space.

Being up in Scorguie is also a big part of the appeal of this home. You’re on the western side of Inverness with local amenities nearby and an elevated position that gives the house a great outlook. Contact Hamish Homes today to register your interest and arrange your private viewing.
