Blair Lomond is a handsome B Listed Victorian house in the highly sought-after Riverside Conservation Area of Inverness. The property is outstanding, having all the qualities of an impressive country house in a very private setting and yet is within easy walking distance of the city centre, Eden Court Theatre and the River Ness.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.The countryside of the Scottish Highlands is varied from the fertile, rolling farmland of the coast to the inland moorlands and rugged mountains. This unspoilt landscape provides a haven for many rare and protected species of wildlife as well as a wide range of rural leisure and sporting opportunities from way-marked walks and cycle trails on the Black Isle, to skiing and adventure sports in the Cairngorms National Park.The current owner purchased Blair Lomond in 1999 shortly after the house and grounds had been fully renovated. This work was carried out to a very high standard to create an exceptional property of some presence with well laid out accommodation which is both very comfortable and of a manageable size. Original features have been retained or restored and include an impressive staircase, panelled doors, intricate cornicing, and fireplaces. The seller has carried out further improvements to the house and these include stunning interior design, new kitchen and bathroom fittings, an electric awning over the side terrace, and a recently renewed security and lighting system.
