House For Sale, Hangcliff Lane, Lerwick ZE1

Description

Overview
Attractively presented, stone-built, semi-detached property in very handy central location in the heart of the sought-after Lerwick Lanes area, within easy reach of shops, cafes etc. On Commercial Street, and the small boat harbour area.

The double glazed accommodation is arranged over two floors, the ground floor comprising a good-sized living room with space for both living and dining areas, a stylish, very contemporary, fitted kitchen with integral appliances, and a sun room. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, and a modern shower room.

Heating is provided by ‘Dimplex Quantum’ storage / convector heaters supplemented by a cosy, multi-fuel stove in the living room, underfloor heating to the shower room, and a panel heater to the sun room. A timber deck and garden area to the rear provides manageable outside space.

The property provides very comfortable, two bedroom accommodation which if not used as a permanent home, would particularly suit rental use, particularly as a holiday let, given the location with amenities close at hand.

Accommodation
Access to the property is via the double glazed, hardwood front door which opens to a small lobby with glazed doors to either side leading to the living room and the kitchen, both rooms having windows looking out to Hangcliff Lane. Ahead a carpeted stair leads to the first floor. The lobby has stripped pine floorboards which extend throughout the whole of the ground floor, with the exception of the sun room.

The attractive living room to the right, which has a second window to the rear facing west, has space for both living and dining areas. Fitted shelves below the window to the lane provide space for books etc., and heating is provided by a cast iron, solid-fuel stove set on a slate hearth or the storage / convector heater. The room extends around at the rear from the dining area into the kitchen, a recess below the stairs providing space for a fridge / freezer which is included in the sale along with the washing machine.

The large kitchen was stylishly re-fitted in late 2020 with fitted units in a very contemporary white gloss finish set off by grey worktops and glass splash backs, laid out along one wall, the units providing ample cupboard and worktop space and including an integral ‘Bosch’ oven and hob with concealed cooker hood over, plus a concealed integrated ‘Neff’ dishwasher. There is also an inset sink with open display shelving and wine rack over, deep pan drawers, plus a handy tall pull-out larder unit. Again the window to the lane has fitted bookshelves below, whilst artificial lighting is provided by recessed ceiling spotlighting supplemented by integrated worktop strip lighting below the wall units. A cupboard under the stairs provides space for coats etc. And also houses the ‘Megaflo’ water tank.

A full-height glazed door at the rear of the kitchen leads to the sun room, a very bright space thanks to floor-to-ceiling glazing to two walls including a door which opens to a timber deck, the room providing a handy extra living space. Electric panel heater.

Back off the hallway, the carpeted stair leads up to a small landing on the first floor lit by a Velux roof light, and having a handy, built-in cloak cupboard / store, and a hatch to the large loft space which spans the full width of the property and is of standing room height in the centre. Potentially there might be scope for development of the loft space although this would be subject to the usual consents required and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard.

Off the landing are two carpeted double bedrooms and a shower room, the main bedroom to the right is a very spacious double room with windows to the front and rear, and a built-in wardrobe. Lighting is provided by ceiling spotlights plus additional wall-mounted spots either side of the bed controlled by two dimmer switches. The second bedroom, also a double, looks out to Hangcliff Lane, and has a built-in shelved cupboard.

Finally the modern shower room comprises an extra-large, walk-in, tiled shower enclosure plus a white contemporary style WC and wash hand basin with mirror over. There is a heated towel rail / radiator plus electric underfloor heating below the slate tiled floor. Fitted cupboard space over the window and recessed ceiling spotlighting.
