Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this exceptional one-and-a-half storey detached family home, occupying a stunning rural setting with breathtaking panoramic views towards Orkney. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout, this beautifully presented home is ideal for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by spectacular countryside and coastal scenery.

The welcoming vestibule opens into a bright central hallway, leading to a generous dual aspect lounge where a feature woodburning stove set on a flagstone hearth creates a warm and inviting focal point. Glazed doors open into the magnificent sunroom, where a vaulted ceiling and triple aspect windows frame the outstanding views, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and family room, a superb space designed for modern living. Fitted with quality walnut units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar perfectly positioned to make the most of the panoramic outlook towards Orkney, this room also benefits from sliding doors opening directly onto the garden. A practical utility room provides additional storage and workspace, while a ground floor shower room and a versatile study, ideal as a home office or occasional fourth bedroom, complete the lower level.

Upstairs, the property offers three beautifully presented double bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with dual aspect windows and wonderful rural views. A second shower room serves the first floor, providing added convenience.

Externally, the property benefits from de-crofted garden grounds extending to approximately 0.41 acres, which are mainly laid to lawn and enjoy uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. Further enhancing the appeal is a traditional ruinous stone cottage, currently housing a timber shed, which offers an abundance of character and exciting future potential, subject to the necessary consents. In addition, approximately 1.89 acres of tenanted croft land are included with the property. The croft is registered under Croft Number C0161, and a copy of the boundary plan is available from our office upon request.
