We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow is located in a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Westhill area of the city.
This spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow is located in a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Westhill area of the city, close to excellent local facilities, the City Centre, Highlands and Islands University Campus and Inverness Airport.
The property, which is in need of some modernisation, benefits from double glazing, a detached garage, and lovely views over the Moray Firth and Black Isle beyond.
With ample storage and well-proportioned rooms, once modernised this property would represent a very comfortable family home.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the extent of the living space and desirable location on offer.
The accommodation consists of an entrance vestibule with a glazed door leading to the hall and coat hooks; an L-shaped hallway with two storage cupboards, one housing the heating system (currently disconnected), and access to the attic; a generous , double aspect lounge/diner with large window allowing the room to flood with natural light and take in the lovely views on offer; a bright, well-appointed kitchen with a good selection of base and wall-mounted units, worktops and tiling to the splashback, a freestanding cooker, space for a washing machine and fridge, and a door leading to the rear garden; a spacious master bedroom with two fitted wardrobes; two further bedrooms, both fitted with wardrobes; and a family bathroom comprising a bath with mixer tap and shower head, wash hand basin, and WC.
The garden to the front of the property is laid with gravel and paving for easy maintenance.
The fully enclosed rear garden is tiered and also laid to a combination of gravel and paving and features a selection of mature shrubs and plants.
A loc-bloc driveway to the side of the property provides ample off-street parking and leads to a single detached garage with an electric up-and-over door, power and light, base and wall units, and a large freezer.
Facilities closest to the property can be found at the nearby Woodside Village, which includes a general store, takeaway, beauty salon, and nursery.
Education is provided at Cradlehall Primary School or Culloden Academy, both of which are within easy reach.
A regular bus service to and from Inverness city centre and Inverness Business and Retail Park is routed close by.
Inverness, the main business and commercial centre in the Highlands, is a very short distance away and offers extensive shopping, leisure, and entertainment facilities, along with excellent road, rail, and air links to the South and beyond.
