House For Sale £60,000
Braehead Lane, Scalloway, Shetland ZE1


Description
Traditional stone-built Shetland cottage situated in central Scalloway. ‘The Ark’ is a quaint ‘But an Ben’ style house with an upstairs level which has undergone a degree of maintenance works over the years to keep up the property. The property has lots of character and original features still in place and has been well looked after. This would make a great ‘Airbnb’ property or lovely second home.

Accommodation Comprises: Ground Floor - Porch, Open Plan Kitchen and Living Room, Toilet and Bathroom. First Floor – Open Plan Area (Was previously divided into two bedrooms)

Externally there is a handy coal store and courtyard.

'The Ark' would benefit from refurbishment to bring it up to modern living standards most notably the installation of thermal insulation, a fully fitted kitchen and double glazing. The property is presently quite basic and it is understood that due to the lack of a fully operational kitchen the property is not classed as 'Habitable' and most mortgage lenders would likely not accept it as a suitable security for lending.

The property is in the Scalloway conservation area and has had conservation style roofing sheets and ‘Velux’ windows installed as well as keeping the cast iron gutters and downpipes.

All Windows & External doors were replaced with hardwood conservation grade, all Sky-lights with Velux conservation grade, all with close consultation and agreement with sic Planning Department

1970's Porch/Toilet/Utility extension re-blocked (to original appearance, circa 2007). Stairs & upstairs floorboards completely replaced, supporting beams replaced or reinforced where appropriate (circa 2002-5).

No Home Report is required for this property.
