General Information
‘Nordi’ is situated in the small hamlet of Ireland which lies a short distance to the north of the village of Bigton on the west side of the South Mainland area of Shetland about 18 miles from Lerwick.
Bigton has its own community run shop & post office, and a public hall, both within reasonable walking distance, the village also being the access point for the spectacular sand tombolo at St Ninian’s Isle which can be seen from the house in the distance. Further amenities area available at nearby Dunrossness to the south where there is a mini-supermarket with fuel pumps, and the area’s primary school, or at Levenwick (doctor’s surgery) and Sandwick (Junior High School & swimming pool) to the north.
In addition to St Ninian’s Isle there are many other places of interest in the wider South Mainland area, including the Loch of Spiggie rspb Reserve, the croft house museum, Quendale Mill, archeological sites at Old Scatness Broch & Jarlshof, plus another rspb reserve at Sumburgh Head. Slightly further afield is Mousa Isle and its famous broch accessed from Leebitton.
The property is fully double glazed with uPVC windows and doors, and heated by electric storage / panel heaters supplemented by a solid-fuel stove in the living room. The sale will include all carpets and other fixed floor coverings, the curtains & blinds, and light fittings. The white goods in the kitchen and garage are available by separate negotiation. Some furniture is also available separately.
Accommodation
Entry to the property is via a large vestibule lined with painted paneling to the lower half of the walls, with uPVC entrance door and window, space for coats and tile effect laminate flooring which extends into the hall accessed via solid oak glazed double doors. The hall has doors to all rooms plus a handy built-in cupboard and like the rest of the house is decorated in a light neutral colour enhancing the light and airy feel of the property which is also accentuated by the wider than average passageway to the left which leads to the kitchen and two reception rooms and a handy separate toilet.. A hatch with pull-down ladder provides easy access to a substantial amount of floored storage space in the loft which has a fitted light and electrical sockets.
A glazed solid oak door opens to the carpeted living room, a lovely bright room thanks to a large floor-to-ceiling window enjoying the open view south (including to St Ninian’s Isle in the distance), plus a second window facing east. A solid-fuel stove set on a tiled hearth provides a cosy heat source although the room also has a storage heater.
Next to the living room is a handy wet wall lined toilet with modern white WC and wash hand basin and slate tile effect vinyl flooring, and the dining room, a good-sized carpeted east-facing room which could alternatively be used as a fourth bedroom.
The north-facing kitchen which has space for a table & chairs and the same flooring as the hall, retains the original units and sink which are perfectly serviceable in the short term although refurbishment was next on the sellers ‘to-do’ list. As it adjoins the dining room this opens up the possibility of linking the two rooms to provide a large kitchen / diner. The cooker and fridge / freezer can be included in the sale.
Moving on back down to the entrance hall area, the family bathroom comprises a modern white suite, the bath having a tiled shower area, ‘Triton’ electric shower & glazed shower screen over, the vanity wash hand basin being set on a fitted cupboard unit which provides useful storage space for toiletries etc. Black wet wall lining around the WC & w.h.b. Is a striking feature, and there is slate effect vinyl flooring. Heating is provided by a heated towel rail. The electrically lit mirror can be included.
There are three bedrooms, the main bedroom being situated to the south side of the house and thus benefiting from the same view as the living room, again maximised by a floor-to-ceiling window. With a second window facing west this is again an exceptionally bright room. Bedrooms two and three also enjoy a westerly aspect and both have built-in wardrobe space and a fitted carpet. Bedroom two could potentially be used as an office. Bedroom 1 also has the same laminate flooring as the hall.
