Inside ‘outstanding’ Scottish Victorian mansion with suntrap conservatory
An “outstanding” Scottish mansion described as an “oasis of calm” has just hit the market.
Woodlands is a spectacular five-bedroom Victorian house that is situated in a highly sought-after residential area of Inverness. It is currently available to buy for offers over £1,250,000.
The property, which is located within the idyllic Riverside Conservation Area, is totally secluded. It lies close by the River Ness and within easy walking distance of the city centre.
Woodlands was bought by its current owners in 2011, who have carried out various renovations and improvements. However, the gorgeous home still retains an abundance of period character and charm.
Stepping inside, the property has been sympathetically upgraded with an immaculate attention to detail. Among its highlights are the elegant reception rooms and picturesque conservatory that looks like the perfect spot to take in the green garden views this summer.
Outside, Woodlands is set within scenic and secluded grounds with a tranquil woodland. Meanwhile, the fabulous formal gardens also include wildflower plantings and even a courtyard sitting area.
The property listing on Galbraith states: “Woodlands is an outstanding property which offers the rare combination of grandeur, comfort and manageability. Set in beautiful, mature, landscaped grounds, the property is an oasis of calm and retreat within its city setting.
“The house has been sympathetically upgraded to a very high standard and shows exceptional attention to detail in all elements of the renovation. Original features have been retained or restored and include Penrhyn heather slate roof, an impressive staircase, panelled doors, intricate cornicing, fireplaces and master bedroom balcony.”
More information and images can be found on the Galbraith website.
