Hillmond is situated in Lochardil in an enviable elevated position at the end of a private road accessed from Stratherrick Road. From the private road a footpath descends though woodland to Dores Road and Island Bank Road which leads to the city centre and off which the picturesque Ness Islands can be accessed. The popular residential area of Lochardil is within walking distance of the city centre, and within easy reach of the Southern Distributor Road. Local amenities include a number of shops, a hotel and primary and secondary schooling can be found nearby. Inverness has all the facilities of a thriving modern city and the mix of old and new has allowed the city to retain much of its historic dignity and strong Highland culture which blend well with modern theatre and the arts. There are good communications by both road and rail and the airport, about a twenty minute drive away, offers regular flights to the south and Europe.DESCRIPTIONHillmond, a detached and extended 1 ½ storey dwelling has been owned by the same family forover 40 years. Although requiring a degree of modernisation, the property has well-proportioned accommodation with an abundance of storage. Many rooms are dual aspect resulting in a light filled interior and picture windows in the sitting room extend the sense of space into the garden. The family room and sitting room both have open fireplaces, and two internal staircases link the ground floor living space to two first floor landings off which all four bedrooms can be found. Solar panels were fitted to the roof in the 1980’s with the purpose of heating the water and recent improvements to the property include the replacement of the double glazed units which are guaranteed until 2039.
