General Information
‘Roselynn’ is situated right in the centre of Scalloway which lies on the west coast of Shetland approximately six miles from Lerwick, the location of the house putting it a short stroll away from the primary school and swimming pool, and also local shopping on Main Street where there are several local shops including a couple of general stores, and a chemist / post office. There is also a medical centre, pub, garage and youth centre in the village, whilst around the harbour at Port Arthur is the boating club (there is also a marina at East Voe) and the nafc Marine Centre, part of the University of the Highlands & Islands.
‘Roselynn’ is fully double glazed and benefits from central heating provided by an oil-fired ‘Worcester’ boiler housed in the utility room, the boiler also supplying the pressurised ‘Megaflo’ hot water tank. All carpets and other fixed floor coverings, the curtains and light fittings are included in the sale, along with the white goods in the kitchen.

Entry to the house is through the front garden, a short path from the street leading to the double glazed front door which opens to a vestibule with coat hooks and glazed inner door to the carpeted hall where doors either side lead to two large reception rooms, a passage to the rear leading past a handy under-stairs store cupboard to the rear hallway, the kitchen and bathroom.
The main living room is a bright, dual-aspect room, the large window to the front of the house facing west, the second window facing south. It has an original cornice plus a tiled fireplace surround housing an open fire although this is not presently used and therefore would require testing prior to use. There is a centre light and additional wall lighting.
The second reception room to the left also benefits from a dual-aspect, again the main window facing west. It is presently used as a family room but could be used as a large ground floor double bedroom. Again centre and wall lighting is provided.
Moving on to the rear of the property, the rear hallway has further coat hooks and a back door, plus an archway to the kitchen and door to the bathroom. The generously proportioned kitchen which has two windows facing east looking out over the back garden, has plenty of space for a table and chairs and modern fitted units to two walls providing ample cupboard & workshop space, the units having including a 1½ bowl sink, stainless steel cooker hood plus plumbing for a dishwasher which is included in the sale along with the cooker and fridge / freezer. Wood laminate flooring is laid throughout and lighting is provided two ceiling spotlight fittings.
The family bathroom was attractively re-fitted about two years ago with wet-wall lining to the walls and wood effect laminate flooring. It now comprises a white three piece suite including a wash hand basin set on a fitted cupboard unit providing useful storage space with further mirror doored cabinet over, and a WC with fitted concealed cistern. There is also a separate shower enclosure with glazed screen / door. Heating is provided by wall-mounted radiator / towel rail supplied by the central heating system and lighting is provided by recessed ceiling spotlights.
Back off the front hall, the carpeted stair which is lit by a large window to the rear of the house, leads up to a landing with useful shelved store cupboard and hatch with pull-down ladder providing easy access to further substantial storage space in the floored and insulated loft which has a fitted light. There are four carpeted bedrooms. On the left is a rear-facing single room with built-in wardrobe, and a west-facing double room. On the right is the dual-aspect main bedroom with windows to the front and rear, plus a fourth single bedroom facing west.
