Terraced house for sale in Balmacaan Road, Inverness IV63

Tucked away in a peaceful area halfway between the centre of Drumnadrochit and the world-famous Urquhart Castle, 5 Balmacaan Road is a two-story family home constructed in 1980.

The property is ready to walk into and is generously sized, with an interior space of 105 m2, and is approached from a front garden leading to a large glazed sunroom serving as a vestibule.
