4 bed detached house for sale

Achnagairn, Inverness Shire IV5

An Stabul is a wonderfully individual four bedroom detached home within the Achnagairn Estate, a short distance from Kirkhill and around five miles from Inverness. Originally built around 120 years ago and converted from stables about 30 years ago, the house has generously sized rooms across two floors, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each level. The home also stands proudly within 1.25 acres of beautiful garden grounds. For a family wanting plenty of space, this is a home with enormous appeal.

A shared driveway leads through the estate and into the grounds, where a sweeping gravel drive curves towards the house. There is plenty of parking around the house and an EV charging point is already fitted outside.

You enter the home through a timber front door into a small vestibule before continuing into the main hallway. Timber flooring, warm coloured walls and matching timber trim around the doors give the entrance plenty of character, with a traditional timber staircase rising to the first floor.

The lounge is an eye catching room with the scale to accommodate a large sofa suite and plenty of additional furniture. Timber flooring runs underfoot while windows on two sides look across the surrounding grounds. The standout feature is the freestanding black wood burning stove, positioned on a circular hearth with its tall flue rising towards the ceiling. Light coloured walls and a patterned feature wall sit alongside the natural timber finishes, creating a comfortable room with plenty of character.

The kitchen diner is another impressive part of the house. Timber cabinets are fitted along two walls, with dark worktops above, leaving enough space in the middle of the room for a dining table with chairs. The cooking situation is handily taken care of with a built-in oven and microwave, electric hob and a curved glass extractor, while a large fridge freezer has a wine rack built in above. The sink sits beneath a wide timber framed window looking out into the garden. Further windows around the dining side add to the outlook, making this a great room for family meals, dinner with friends or simply spending time together.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor. The first is located just off the kitchen dining area and is a large room, currently being used as a home gym. Timber flooring runs underfoot while two timber framed windows look towards the trees and gardens outside. The size of the room gives you plenty of freedom for a large bed and additional bedroom furniture.

Bedroom two is located near the front door and also has timber flooring, light coloured walls and a large window which has a radiator beneath. It’s another useful bedroom with room for a bed and further furniture, while its position on the ground floor could also make it a useful guest room or home office if required.

The ground floor bathroom has a white bath running along one side, with a shower screen fitted. Light coloured tiles cover the walls, while a timber framed frosted window sits beyond the bath. Nearer the door, a white pedestal basin and toilet are positioned, with grey floor tiles completing the room.

The timber staircase rises from the hall to the first floor, where you’ll find the remaining two bedrooms and the second bathroom. Bedroom three is a large double room with plenty of floor space. Timber flooring continues underfoot, while windows positioned on different sides of the room keep the space bright and airy. The sloping sections of the ceiling add character while the black flue from the lounge stove continues through one side of the room. There’s plenty of space here for a large bed, drawers, wardrobes and additional furniture.

The fourth bedroom is another comfortable double with timber flooring and sloping sections to the ceiling. A timber framed window looks out across the grounds, while one of the most unusual features of the room is its own external door. This opens directly onto a staircase which runs down the side of the house, giving this bedroom its own separate route outside.

The first floor bathroom is especially useful for a house of this size, containing both a bath and a separate shower enclosure. The white bath runs beneath the sloping section of ceiling, while the toilet and pedestal basin sit opposite. Light coloured tiles continue around the lower walls and shower area, with a roof window above adding another attractive feature to the room.

Around 1.25 acres of garden grounds surround the house, giving you expansive stretches of lawns, flower beds, mature trees and a wonderful sense of space. There’s enough space here to create numerous seating spots, play areas or simply to enjoy the peaceful nature of the garden. There are also several useful outbuildings, including a timber garage, a lightweight metal garage and a greenhouse all giving you excellent space for vehicles, garden machinery, tools and general storage.

Despite the leafy surroundings, An Stabul is only a short distance from Kirkhill, with Inverness approximately five miles away. That gives you the combination of a large private garden and country surroundings while keeping the city and its wider range of shops, services and amenities within easy reach.

For anyone wanting a peaceful rural home while remaining close to Inverness, this is a property that should be firmly on your viewing list. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private viewing and come so you can come and see An Stabul for yourself.
