Description
Mayfield is an characterful 3 bedroom cottage on a peaceful 1 1/4 acre plot, close to the Castle of Burrian on the popular island of Westray.
This home offers a rural lifestyle with a range of outbuildings, all with electricity, 2 polycrubs, 1 with an electricity supply, for growing a range of fruit and vegetables and a large, mature, enclosed garden. There are a range of shrubs and trees providing shelter and a habitat for wild birds. One area is currently set up to keep poultry.
The house benefits from air source heating and has two solar panels to heat the hot water which are part of the domestic renewable heat incentive scheme. This will continue to provide a quarterly income until 2028. There are further solar panels with storage batteries.
The accommodation on the ground floor comprises a bright entrance porch, large dual aspect country kitchen/ dining room with range cooker, cosy living room with multi-fuel stove, a bathroom, bedroom and shower room. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor.
The current owner obtained planning permission to extend the house into the neighbouring outbuilding however, this permission has now lapsed. The architect drawn plans for the project are available on request. The current heating system has capacity to heat this extra space.
Westray is a vibrant island with a regular ferry service and flights from Kirkwall. There are 3 well stocked shops selling a range of groceries, local produce and hardwares.
Local facilities include primary and junior high schools, a swimming pool, care home, galleries, heritage centre, hotel, cafe, bistro, seasonal marina and sailing club, and a range of historical sites.
