House For Sale £140,000
Overview
Set in a well-established garden, 16 Isles Road is a three bedroom, semi-detached property conveniently situated within walking distance of the local shop in the village of Voe, approximately 6 miles from Brae, and 18 miles from Lerwick.
In addition to three double bedrooms, the accommodation also includes a generously proportioned 17’ living room, similarly sized kitchen with space for a table & chairs, and a bathroom. Electric heating.
The property benefits from an open aspect to the front and rear, and externally, in additional to a lovely front garden with several mature trees, there is also a large garage / workshop, separate shed and low maintenance stone chipped drying area to the rear.
