Description
Shoehall is a charming three-bedroom traditional stone cottage set in approximately 2.2 acres or thereby on the beautiful island of Eday. With uninterrupted sea views, a wonderful sense of privacy and an abundance of character, this delightful property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special island home.
Shoehall has considerable charm, while now requiring a degree of renovation and modernisation. The accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a welcoming living room with multifuel stove, a separate dining room with stove, a kitchen and a bathroom. A particular feature of the bathroom is the lovely roll-top bath, positioned in the window to make the most of the surrounding views, together with a separate shower.
Outside, a selection of traditional stone outbuildings, including a tied byre, add further appeal and offer excellent scope for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. The generous grounds extend to approximately 2.2 acres or thereby, with the property enjoying uninterrupted sea views and a peaceful, private setting. Despite its wonderful sense of seclusion, Shoehall is not isolated, and the combination of its setting, traditional character and considerable potential makes this an exciting opportunity for those seeking a home with plenty of scope to put their own stamp on it.
