Description
South House is a warm, welcoming three bedroom home set within a 70 acre registered croft, enjoying a spectacular coastal position on the west side of Eday. The setting is exceptionally peaceful, with sweeping sea views across to Faray and Westray at the front and open hill land rising behind. This is a rare chance to own a large piece of land in a truly remarkable island location.
South House is an extended traditional stone cottage with a comfortable, homely feel. The layout and natural light make the house feel welcoming and connected to its surroundings.
All accommodation is on one level and includes: a bright entry porch/sun room, a well appointed dining kitchen, a spacious living room with windows on three sides framing the sea and landscape, a home office with access to the front garden, two single bedrooms, a generous double bedroom and a family bathroom.
Outbuildings - A useful range of outbuildings offers plenty of flexibility for crofting, hobbies, storage, or small scale projects:
•Garage
•Two traditional stone byres
•680 sq ft barn
•Three wooden sheds
•An additional storage shed
Farm equipment including the sheep handling system and quad bikes are available via separate negotiation.
Setting And Land - The land surrounds the house and outbuildings, giving a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Around half of the land is permanent grass, with the remainder natural heathland, and the whole area is fenced. Rural payments entitlements are included in the sale. The property has direct access to the shoreline and includes a section of foreshore—perfect for beachcombing, watching wildlife, or simply enjoying the ever changing sea.
Two hosted 5 kW turbines are located on the croft, providing discounted electricity to the house.
Eday - Eday is a beautiful, friendly island known for its coastal scenery, archaeology, rich birdlife, big skies, and peaceful way of life. The island has a community shop, a heritage centre, and a primary school. Regular ferry and air services connect Eday with Kirkwall, making it accessible while still feeling wonderfully remote.
