Drummond Crescent is situated in the Lower Drummond area of the city and lies within the Riverside Conservation Area. The property, in close proximity of the River Ness and the picturesque Ness Islands, is within walking distance of the city centre. Inverness is a thriving modern city offering a wide range of amenities and excellent restaurants, shops and sporting facilities. 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. The surrounding countryside is unspoilt and varied from the beaches and harbours to woodland and dramatic mountain ranges. There is also an abundance of native wildlife which, together, all enhance the natural beauty of the area. The city has good communications by both road and rail, and the airport offers regular flights to the south and Europe.Greenhill is a detached, stone built property under a slate roof which dates back to 1861. The property was purchased by the current owners in 2021 who have since carried out a full refurbishment resulting in a stylish, comfortable family home. The property, sympathetically modernised, fuses the traditional character of the original building with the wants of modern living and retains some original features such as sash and case windows, cornicing and deep skirting boards. A modern kitchen/dining/family room extension, added in 2023, provides a sought after, light filled, open plan living space, with a vaulted ceiling, an abundance of glazing and bi-fold doors that open onto a composite deck.Full planning permission was granted in 2022 (Ref: 22/00609/FUL) for the development of two holiday let units within the rear garden.
