House For Sale £160,000
Two-bedroom traditional stone-built semi-detached bungalow set within the conservation area in central Scalloway. This historic fisherman’s cottage boasts an abundance of character with exposed thick stone walls, sash and case windows and open ceilings. There is also a well-established sheltered garden with fantastic views over Scalloway harbour. This would especially make a great ‘Airbnb’ property or a lovely second home.
This quaint property has undergone a degree of upgrading and restoration works over the years whilst carefully keeping the style and character intact. There is a mixture of single and double glazing throughout the property with french doors opening out from the kitchen and bedroom onto the patio.
Heating is provided by “Dimplex Quantum” electric storage heaters accompanied by two multi-fuel burners in the kitchen and largest bedroom.
Accommodation comprises:- Porch, living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.
'Smiddy Closs Cottage”' would benefit from refurbishment to bring it up to modern living standards most notably the installation of thermal insulation in places, a fully fitted kitchen and double glazing.
