House For Sale £165,000
Overview
Three bedroom, single storey detached house conveniently situated just across the road from the primary school and within a mile of two local shops. The location puts the property within easy commuting distance of Lerwick (approximately 9 miles) by car or by bus as the main westside bus route runs past Clach-na-strom.
The property sits on the eastern side of Clach-na-strom and enjoys a fine open aspect to the east. In addition to two double and one single bedrooms, the double glazed accommodation also includes a spacious, 18’ south-facing living / dining room, modern fitted kitchen, and a shower room which was re-fitted in 2019. Plenty of storage space is provided by two cupboards in the hall and built-in wardrobes to all three bedrooms.
A driveway provides parking for three cars and there are garden areas to the front and rear, plus an attached 15’ x 9’ store which could potentially revert back to its original use as a garage.
Ideal first time buy particularly for a young family given the close proximity of the primary school, or would suit anyone looking to downsize to a property with accommodation all on the one level.
