Given its location on the waterfront, the property would make an ideal holiday property, if not used as a permanent home. Shetland has become an increasingly popular tourist destination in recent years thanks to extensive media coverage with numerous TV wildlife programmes, and also the 'Shetland' detective series.
The property was completely renovated in the late 1990’s retaining only the original stone walls. The traditional appearance of the original cottage has been retained, with a natural slate roof and sash and case style windows, these being double glazed. Heating is provided by electric storage / panel heaters supplemented by an open fire in the living room.
All carpets and other fitted floor coverings, the curtains and blinds, and light fittings are included in the sale. The white goods in the kitchen and much of the furniture is available by separate negotiation.
Accommodation
The front entrance door opens to an attractive hallway finished, like the rest of the house, with pine skirtings and door surrounds etc., pine paneled doors to either side opening to the kitchen to the left and the living room to the right. Ahead is the shower room. A small built-in cupboard provides some space for coats etc. And also houses the electric meters, and lighting is provided by several wall lights. A spiral staircase leads up to the first floor.
The wood effect vinyl flooring in the hallway extends into the kitchen which enjoys the south-facing aspect, as do all the main rooms. There is space for a table & chairs and ample fitted units incorporate an integral oven and hob with cooker hood over, an inset sink, plus plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge / freezer, these appliances being available by separate negotiation. Lighting is provided by recessed ceiling spotlighting supplemented by worktop lights.
The living room also enjoys the south-facing aspect and views of shipping entering the harbour. The working open fire provides a cosy heat source although there is also a storage heater, and the exposed ceiling and beams add character. Fitted carpet and wall lighting.
The shower room which is attractively finished with a dado rail border, comprises a white WC and wash hand basin plus a shower enclosure with electric shower and glazed screen / door. Also a heated towel rail and wall-mounted fan heater, bathroom cabinet, recessed ceiling spotlighting & vinyl flooring.
The spiral staircase leads up to a landing on the first floor with clothes pulley, vinyl flooring, and doors to the two bedrooms and a useful built-in cupboard in the eaves which has a fitted light for convenience, and also houses the hot water tank.
Both bedrooms are double rooms with dormer windows enjoying the view south over the harbour approach. Bedroom 1 to the left has varnished floor boards. The second bedroom to the right is carpeted and has a fitted desk by the window but this could easily be removed if required.
