A pair of traditional crofts extending to approx. 136 acres with a two bedroom cottage, two stone outbuildings and derelict remains of a further cottage, with coastal frontage and sea views across the Sound of Papa.
The two crofts are combined under one holding number and comprise The Old Manse which includes the main residence, two stone barns and approx. 26 acres; the second croft is known as The Ark and it includes the derelict cottage and approx. 110 acres. An annual rent of £36 is payable to Shetland Island Council, and the land is currently used for grazing and silage (contractors visit Papa Stour in July to cut and bale) plus the current owners have about 25 sheep. The cottage has recently been refurbished with improvements including a new kitchen, shower and toilet, laminate flooring and new electrical sockets and switches.
Papa Stour is an island off the west coast of Shetland with a population of around twenty. It is linked by a forty-minute ferry to West Burrafirth which runs twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with one additional ferry on Sunday. Papa Stour is the ninth largest island in Shetland, with a stunning rugged coastline renowned for its caves, stacks, arches, blow holes and cliffs. The island and its surrounding seas harbour diverse populations of wildlife.
