Finding a flat with its own garden is one thing, but finding one with a private garage as well makes this two bedroom property in Inverness worth a closer look.
Situated on Esk Road in the Hilton area of the city, the ground floor flat has a practical arrangement of accommodation, with direct access from the living room into an enclosed garden.
It is that connection between the house and its outside space that gives the property much of its appeal.
The lounge is a generously proportioned room with enough space for both seating and a dining table, while a glazed door opens directly onto the patio.
Beyond it, mature hedging encloses the private garden, providing a defined outdoor area rather than the shared grounds often associated with flats.
The garden is also a useful size, with an established patio and space for outdoor furniture, without the demands of maintaining a substantial plot.
The separate garage adds another practical advantage, particularly in a residential part of Inverness where additional storage and secure parking can be valuable.
There is also parking for residents and visitors at the front of the building.
Inside, the accommodation is straightforward, with two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, shower room and entrance hallway with storage.
Both bedrooms have space for freestanding furniture, while the second could serve a different purpose if two permanent bedrooms are not required.
The kitchen has fitted wall and base units with worktop space, although the overall interior is relatively conventional and leaves room for future updating.
Being on the ground floor removes the need to climb stairs within the property, although prospective buyers would still need to establish whether the entrance and other arrangements meet their individual accessibility requirements.
The flat has a secure entry system, an EPC rating of E and falls within Council Tax Band A.
Hilton is an established residential area of Inverness, placing the property within the city rather than on its outskirts.
There are certainly more elaborate properties on the Inverness market, but elaborate is not necessarily what everyone is looking for.
Here, the attraction is practical and fairly simple: two decent bedrooms, a comfortable living area, a garden reached directly from the lounge and a garage of its own.
For a ground floor flat, that is a useful combination.
