4 bed detached house for sale

Essich Meadows, Inverness IV2

Set within the peaceful surroundings of the Essich Meadows development in Holm, Inverness, this impressive detached home includes all the designer comforts expected from a contemporary property. Surrounded by similarly high quality homes and just a short drive from Inverness city centre, it enjoys four bedrooms, extensive open plan living space, a detached double garage and a fully enclosed garden, making it a home designed to adapt effortlessly to modern family life.

The front of the property creates an excellent first impression. Finished in a crisp white exterior with contrasting dark roof tiles, the house has an attractive modern appearance. A neat lawn and mature hedges finish the front garden, while a paved pathway leads to the entrance and wraps around the property. Parking is well catered for with this home as in addition to the driveway at the side of the house, a substantial block-paved parking area at the rear provides space for multiple cars and leads directly to the detached double garage. The garage is a valuable addition, constructed from blockwork with two electric roller doors at the front, while a separate pedestrian door allows easy entry to the side.

Inside the home, you step into a welcoming hallway where a broad staircase rises to the first floor, finished with a soft grey carpet and solid timber balustrade. Light wooden flooring runs throughout, complemented by natural wood doors and finishes that immediately set the tone for the quality found throughout the home.

The lounge sits at the front of the home and is a particularly inviting room, centred around a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. Light grey carpet underfoot and a calm colour palette on the walls give the room a cosy feel, while the generous floor area easily accommodates sofas and seating without feeling crowded.

Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the property is the impressive open plan kitchen, living and dining space, designed as the social heart of the home. The living area has a striking contemporary wood-burning stove, creating an attractive focal point, while large glazed doors with additional windows at the side, opens the room to the garden. Given the size of the space, it gives you plenty of scope to arrange your furniture, sofas and dining table however you see fit.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a striking combination of contrasting cabinets and extensive worktop space. A large central island incorporates a gas hob and breakfast seating, with extractor hood set into the ceiling above. Integrated double ovens are built into the tall bank of units, while additional features include a wine cooler fridge, under cabinet lighting, inset sink and generous storage throughout. The overall finish is one of quality, with careful attention to detail evident throughout.

Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room providing additional worktop space, storage units and room for laundry appliances. By keeping household tasks separate from the main kitchen, the utility enhances the practicality of the home.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom. The room benefits from a deep recessed window similar in style to the lounge, along with a large fitted wardrobe concealed behind timber sliding doors. The size provides flexibility for a variety of uses, whether as a guest bedroom, home office, hobby room or an additional family space or playroom, depending on requirements.

Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned WC, fitted with a contemporary floating hand basin with storage below and a toilet alongside. The clean finish makes it practical for family members and visiting guests.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is another standout feature of the home. Exceptionally generous in size, it feels more like a luxury suite than a standard bedroom, with room for a super king sized bed, extensive furniture and a dedicated dressing or seating area. The room benefits from a large dormer window drawing in plenty of daylight, while the neutral décor and light coloured carpet create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Its private en-suite shower room has been finished to the highest standard with contemporary tiling, a large walk-in shower with rainfall head, floating vanity unit, toilet and chrome heated towel rail.

The master bedroom was enlarged by removing an internal wall, creating a generous and spacious master suite. However, the layout could easily be reinstated by rebuilding the wall, allowing the property to be converted back into a five-bedroom home if desired.

The home’s third bedroom is another spacious double. The room also has plenty of space for freestanding furniture and a large bed. It has similar neutral décor, keeping it light, bright and airy. This bedroom also has an en-suite shower room, again finished in a modern style with quality fittings and contemporary tiling.

The fourth bedroom is a comfortable and attractive double room. It also has a dormer window, and room for additional furniture. It would work equally well as a bedroom, guest room, study or hobby room depending on the needs of your family.

Completing the first floor is the bathroom. Beautifully presented and finished in a modern style, the bathroom features large grey wall tiles complemented by darker floor tiles and chrome fittings throughout. A full-sized bath sits within a tiled surround, with a separate shower enclosure fitted too. A contemporary wall mounted floating cabinet has a modern bowl sink on top, contributing to the room's sleek appearance. Alongside the two en-suite shower rooms, it ensures the first floor is exceptionally well equipped for modern family living.

The home benefits from double glazed UPVC and timber casement windows with timber external doors complementing the quality finish found throughout the home. Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas combi boiler located within the utility room. Solar photovoltaic panels installed on the front roof contribute to the home's energy efficiency and can help reduce ongoing running costs.

The rear garden is fully enclosed and provides a generous outdoor space that is ready to enjoy. A large lawn stretches across the garden, creating plenty of room for children to play, pets to roam or keen gardeners to put their own stamp on the space. A circular patio area provides an attractive spot for outdoor dining, while the greenhouse and garden shed add useful practicality for those who need additional storage. Mature trees beyond the boundary create a pleasant green backdrop and add to the sense of privacy.

From the impressive open plan living space to the generous bedrooms and private garden, every part of this home has been designed to the highest standard. Viewing is highly recommended, contact Hamish Homes now to arrange your private appointment today.
