The farmhouse is set within an enclosed walled garden, enhanced by mature trees that provide character, shelter and privacy. Although the property now requires comprehensive renovation throughout, it presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers wishing to restore and reimagine a traditional Orcadian farmhouse to their own specification. The extensive landholding of 37 acres or thereby, together with the various outbuildings, offers considerable scope for agricultural, equestrian or lifestyle use, subject to any necessary consents.
One of the property's most appealing features is its direct access to the banks of the Harray Loch, renowned for its excellent trout fishing and outstanding natural beauty. The setting allows uninterrupted views across the Loch to the dramatic Hoy Hills and the internationally significant Ring of Brodgar, creating an exceptional backdrop throughout the seasons. The accommodation currently benefits from double-glazed timber-framed windows, a number of open fireplaces and electric storage heaters. While modernisation is required, Biggings offers immense potential to become a remarkable country residence in one of Orkney's most sought-after rural locations.
