Sycamores, 8 Leachkin, Inverness IV3

Exceptional and rarely available opportunity to purchase this truly stunning 5 bedroom detached family home with breath-taking views situated within a prime location in Inverness.

Full Description:

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented detached five-bedroom family home, offering exceptional privacy, extensive garden grounds, and some of the most spectacular views over the city of Inverness and the Moray Firth. Perfectly positioned to enjoy peace and seclusion while still being within easy reach of city amenities, this is an ideal home for growing families seeking both space and tranquillity.

From the moment you step inside Sycamores, you are met with a stunning conservatory that instantly draws your eye to the breath-taking views beyond—a wonderful place to relax, read, or simply watch the changing skies over the Firth. The conservatory leads through to a welcoming hallway which provides access to all rooms on the ground floor as well as the staircase to the upper level.

The lounge is a bright and generously proportioned space, filled with natural light thanks to large windows that frame the scenery outside. A feature wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, making this a truly inviting space for family life. The adjoining open-plan dining area is perfectly suited for everyday family meals and special gatherings alike, creating a seamless flow between living and dining that works beautifully for both busy family routines and entertaining guests.

The kitchen and utility room offer ample storage with a mix of wall and base units, and there is space for both integrated and freestanding appliances. A further informal dining or study area adds to the home's flexibility, allowing each family member to enjoy their own space. On the ground floor, there are also three comfortable bedrooms, each with built-in storage, as well as a spacious family bathroom complete with separate bath, shower, toilet, and wash hand basin.

Upstairs, the studio is an exceptionally large and versatile room, currently used as a bedroom but easily adaptable for a variety of uses—from a private retreat to a creative studio or even conversion to an annexe-style space. A further 2 upstairs bedroom benefits from their own ensuite, offering privacy and comfort for guests or older children. One bedroom has panoramic views across the countryside to the cityscape and hills beyond.

Outside, the home continues to impress. To the front, a large patio area provides the perfect spot to sit and admire the incredible views. The driveway has space for several cars and offers a sense of arrival, with the property set well back to ensure privacy and quiet. To the rear, the garden is extensive and set across different levels, offering a mix of open space and planting areas. A polytunnel makes it a haven for gardening enthusiasts, while the size of the plot offers plenty of room for children to play and families to enjoy the outdoors together. There is a short single track access road through a working croft.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a spacious, private, and flexible family home in a truly special setting, with the views and outdoor space to match.
