Three-bedroom first floor flat with private garden; huge potential, great value

Just moments from Inverness City Centre, and with good-sized rooms and a large garden for the owner’s exclusive use, 79 Bruce Gardens is a delightful flat that offers enormous potential as a first home or investment. Accessed via a flight of steps, the entrance is in a small purpose-built block of four properties. Once inside, the flat opens into a light-filled space with tongue and groove panelling and period details. Constructed in 1950, the flat benefits from high ceilings and generously sized windows and wide-ranging views.

The living room is large, with a decorative wood and marble fire surround, inset with a gas fire. Currently decorated in a deep ochre, the room has plenty of scope for different furniture layouts and its charming 1950 proportions have a quirky mid-century appeal that, with just a little interior design knowledge, will yield a fabulously designed space. The kitchen is well-designed and practical, featuring a galley layout ending with a view across the local area. Long lengths of worksurface and plentiful cabinets offer masses of storage and preparation space. With the right touch, there is much opportunity to turn this room into something quite special.

Boasting an interior space of 68m2, the three bedrooms really make the most of this generous size. The principal bedroom is especially large, with a built-in wardrobe and ample bed and dressing furniture space. The two smaller bedrooms, one with a garden view, are still comfortably sized. With space for a desk and other furniture, either would make a fabulous room for an older child or teenager, or an excellent space for hobbies or home office. The bathroom is decorated with white tiles and a colourful decorative band. It includes a white bath with a shower over it, a WC and a wash hand basin.

One of the real benefits of this lovely flat is the large private garden to the rear of the building. Laid with grass and some areas of mature planting, this garden offers considerable opportunity to turn a very affordable property into a home with both appeal and investment potential. 79 Bruce Gardens, with some decorative attention and an eye for detail, could be a fantastic first purchase and a great step onto the property ladder. It offers all types of benefits as a family home for those with older children, or someone looking for an exciting city centre space to invest in.
