Overview
Situated on the edge of the Brentfield houses and therefore enjoying a fine open westerly aspect, 24 Brentfield is a three bedroom detached house conveniently situated on the Lerwick - Sumburgh bus route and within walking distance of the shop, school and swimming pool in the village of Sandwick, mid-way between Lerwick (approximately 13 miles) and Sumburgh.
In addition to two double bedrooms and a single third bedroom, the single storey accommodation which has electric storage / panel heating, also includes a good-sized, west-facing living room, separate dining room, modern fitted kitchen with integral appliances, and a shower room.

Externally, there is a lawn / drying green to the front of the house, and a large garden shed with power.
The property represents an ideal first time buy particularly for a family, with amenities including a children’s play park just along the road, and the school and swimming pool, close at hand.
