Building Site Near Stand Pretty, Shapinsay, Orkney
- Land size
- 4.1 acres
Description
Set within the open countryside of Shapinsay near Stand Pretty, this attractive development opportunity extends to approximately 4.10 acres (marked blue) and enjoys an elevated position with wide-reaching views across farmland and towards the surrounding coastline. The site offers a peaceful rural setting with direct roadside access, while remaining within easy reach of ferry connections to Kirkwall.
Part of the land (marked red) benefits from planning permission (Ref: 24/001/PP) for a contemporary three-bedroom bungalow, designed with a bright open-plan living space and a modern exterior incorporating clean lines, large glazing and a pitched roof with provision for solar panels. The remaining ground provides generous scope for garden, amenity or small-scale agricultural use, subject to the appropriate consents, creating an excellent opportunity to develop a bespoke home in a scenic and well-connected island location.
