Built in 2005 by McCarthy & Stone, the complex sits just off Ness Walk, moments from the River Ness and a short stroll from shops, cafés, transport links and the cultural heart of Inverness.

It’s a welcoming, low maintenance home ideal for anyone seeking convenience, peace of mind and proximity to everything the city has to offer.
The living room is decorated in soft cream tones with white skirtings and coving for a clean finish.
A brushed steel artificial fire with pebble bed sits neatly within a white surround and black back panel, adding a contemporary focal point.
Warm toned laminate flooring runs throughout, complemented by an area rug that defines the seating space.
Two ceiling chandeliers and matching wall lights create an even glow, while a large uPVC window brightens the dining area beside it.

A glazed door from the living room opens into a compact, u-shaped kitchen finished in light beech effect cabinets with sleek brushed steel handles.
White laminate worktops run on three sides with a cream mosaic style tiled splashback. The stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath a uPVC window to the left.
Centrally on the rear run is a four zone electric ceramic hob with a canopy extractor above; the Lamona electric oven is housed at eye level in a tall unit by the doorway.
Space is provided for under-counter appliances while the layout keeps everything close to hand for easy day to day use.
The bedroom is decorated in light neutral tones, with one feature wall in a soft beige shade and the others in off-white.
A fitted carpet in a muted brown complements the walls, creating a warm finish.
The mirrored sliding doors of the built-in wardrobe reflect light around the room and provide generous storage without taking up extra floor space.
A single window keeps the room bright through the day.
Ceiling coving continues the consistent finish seen throughout the flat and a central pendant light with crystal detailing adds a touch of character.
