Description

Set within a stunning and unspoilt coastal location on the island of North Ronaldsay, Garso No. 1 offers a rare opportunity to acquire a registered croft with charming stone built three-bedroom home and approximately 29.38 acres of croft land, together with a range of outbuildings and a substantial multi-purpose shed.
Enjoying an enviable setting with far-reaching views across open countryside and towards the coast, the property provides a peaceful and scenic environment, ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle, smallholding potential, or a tranquil island retreat.

The accommodation is well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units, offering ample worktop space and a practical layout for everyday living. The cosy living room, complete with wooden flooring and a traditional stove, creates a warm and inviting space to relax.
The property comprises three double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with dual aspect windows. One bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe, while a separate box room offers flexibility for use as a home office, study or nursery. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, including a shower over the bath.
Externally, a standout feature is the 29.38 acres of croft land split across various plots, offering excellent potential for grazing, cultivation or lifestyle use. A collection of traditional stone outbuildings adds character and further potential (subject to appropriate consents), while the large agricultural shed provides extensive storage or workshop space with vehicular access.
An enclosed garden bordered by traditional stone dykes offers a sheltered outdoor area, complementing the wider grounds and capturing the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
