Orchid Avenue, Inverness, IV2 6BJ

This modern four bedroom detached home in the Slackbuie area of Inverness would make a great family home for anyone wanting to stay within easy reach of Inverness while having four bedrooms, good storage and plenty of useful outdoor space at home.
From the front, a paved path curves through the lawn towards the front door, with a tree and flowers adding some colour around the house. The driveway runs down the side of the property, providing off street parking for several cars.
Inside, the hallway has white walls, a light grey carpet and matching white internal doors. The staircase rises from here, while a glazed door further along gives you a glimpse through towards the dining area and garden beyond.
At the front of the home, the living room is brought to life with light blue painted walls beneath crisp white cornicing. Two tall windows sit side by side along one wall, with a radiator directly beneath. It’s a large room with plenty of space for a tv and sofa setup.
At the rear of the house, you first enter the dining area, where there’s plenty of space for a full table and chairs. French doors open onto the paved garden patio and fill the room with light, while a radiator mounted on the side wall keeps it cosy. Further along, a breakfast bar marks the transition into the kitchen and gives you another place to sit to enjoy a coffee or a quick bite to eat.
Beyond the breakfast bar, the kitchen is made up of woodgrain patterned lower cabinets, glossy cream wall mounted units and light coloured worktops. Beige tiled splashbacks run behind the work surfaces, while the stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath the window overlooking the rear garden. A four burner gas hob is built into one side with the Bosch oven directly below and a stainless steel extractor above.
Just off the kitchen is the utility area. There’s additional cupboard and worktop space here, with room beneath for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Also on the ground floor is the WC, which has been given a smart finish of its own. A wide grey vanity unit provides storage space beneath the basin, with grey metro style tiles behind it. A mirrored cabinet sits above, while the toilet is positioned at the far end of the room.
Upstairs, the master bedroom features light coloured walls, carpet and a broad window. It also has a full bank of glossy sliding wardrobes stretching across almost an entire wall, giving you plenty of built in storage and helping to keep the rest of the room clear. The master also has its own en-suite shower room. A large glazed enclosure takes up one end, with pale tiling and a narrow mosaic border running around the walls. Opposite is a dark grey vanity unit housing the white basin, with a mirrored cabinet above and a frosted window alongside.
Bedroom two is another double room but has a different feel again. White walls make for a clean backdrop, while a pair of mirror fronted sliding wardrobe doors gives you plenty of space for clothes on the internal wall.
The third bedroom is a neat single room with warm pink walls giving it a splash of colour. The radiator is positioned directly beneath the window with the rest of the walls left clear. Bedroom four has a very different feel, finished in pale green with a large glossy white sliding wardrobe taking up almost the full length of one wall. That gives you a huge amount of storage without needing to fill the room with freestanding furniture.
The family bathroom brings together light stone coloured tiles, light wood effect units and white fittings. The bath runs along one wall and has a shower above with a clear glass screen to the side, while the basin is set into a wide vanity unit with cupboards beneath. At the far end, the toilet is built into a matching timber effect unit beneath the window.
The rear garden has several distinct areas to use. French doors open first onto a paved patio at the back of the house. Beside it, a raised timber deck creates a separate seating area, with steps leading down towards the lawn and gravelled sections around it.
Beyond the main seating areas there are flower beds that add colour and interest, while a greenhouse sits to one side with timber sheds providing additional garden storage too. Timber fencing and retaining walls help to keep the space private, with trees beyond giving the garden an attractive backdrop.
This property at 45 Orchid Avenue is a home that works well for day to day family life. The finish is smart and modern and the garden gives the house individuality. If this seems like the house for you, then contact Hamish Homes to arrange your private viewing today.
