A beautiful B-listed house in Inverness’s prestigious riverside conservation area has gone on the market for £1.75m.

Blair Lomond House and its 2.3 acres of garden grounds, which are located in Drummond Crescent, sit close to Inverness’s popular Ness Islands and riverside walks, and are within easy reach on Eden Court Theatre and the city centre.

Estate agency, Galbraith, which is handling the sale, is expecting strong interest given that “a property of this quality and in this setting is rarely available”.

The house itself features four bedrooms – a master suite with en suite and dressing room, a second with en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The house also boasts a drawing room, dining room, sitting room, dining kitchen, shower room, entrance hall, and utility room/boot room.

Outside, the “impressive” grounds feature “beautiful formal gardens, mature mixed woodland and an exquisite walled garden” which together provide “total seclusion” and create “a sheltered growing environment”.

Phiddy Robertson, of Galbraith, said: “Blair Lomond House is an outstanding family home, with superb reception rooms and beautifully presented accommodation throughout. The gardens are of particular note, giving year-round interest.

“The situation is exceptionally private and yet the property is within easy walking distance of Inverness city centre, Eden Court Theatre and the River Ness. A property of this quality and in this setting is rarely available.”

Clipped box hedging edges paths through the grounds, while to one side of the house is a tennis lawn and to the rear is an exquisite walled garden and small orchard. Adjacent to the south side of the house is a flagstone terrace, flanked by two magnolia trees and with an automatic awning and French doors to the house.

An L-shaped range of buildings create a sheltered courtyard to the rear of the house, comprising a den/games room, garden room, boiler room and WC. This offers the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Within the grounds is a modern garage building with double garage, workshop, general store and external staircase leading to the full-size attic room. Blair Lomond House has electric gates and a full security system.

Blair Lomond House, Inverness, is for sale through Galbraith for offers over £1.75 million.
