General Information
'Haily-Puckle Haa' is situated at Bridge End on the island of Burra which is connected to mainland Shetland by fixed bridge links via the neighbouring island of Trondra. Burra is in fact actually two islands, West Burra and East Burra although they are linked by a causeway.
Bridge End is roughly in the middle of West Burra, a couple of miles south of the island's main population centre at Hamnavoe where the main amenities are located, these including a primary school, shop & post office, public hall and marina. There is also a garage with fuel pumps by the bridge over from Trondra whilst Bridge End itself has a marina and outdoor centre with camping area. There are several fine beaches on the island including Meal Beach to the north, and Banna Minn to the south. Further amenities can be found at Scalloway about six miles to the north, where there is more local shopping, another school, and also a public swimming pool. Lerwick is only about 11 miles away and therefore within easy commuting distance.

Accommodation
Entry is by a uPVC front door which opens to a vestibule with wood effect vinyl flooring and a handy built-in cloak cupboard fitted with a hanging rail for coats etc. And shelving for boots. A glazed inner door with glazed sidelight leads on into the hall, an 'l'-shaped space laid with wood effect laminate flooring and lit my two light fittings with glass shades. On the right is the kitchen / dining room and the first of the three double bedrooms. To the left is a built-in, shelved airing cupboard housing the 'Megaflo' hot water tank, and a passage leading to the remaining accommodation. A hatch provides access to storage space in the partially floored loft.
The kitchen has been completely re-fitted by the current owner since their purchase five years ago. It is a very generously proportioned room, a super, very sociable space with plenty of space for a dining table & chairs, and also potentially a sofa, natural light being provided by three windows all enjoying the view to the sea and over to the West Mainland coast in the distance, including a deep window to the dining area. Artificial light is provided by extensive recessed ceiling spotlighting. Wood laminate flooring throughout unifies the whole space. The kitchen has ample units in a taupe finish set off by solid woodblock worktops and copper coloured handles, the units providing extensive cupboard and worktop space and featuring a range of integral appliances including a double electric oven, concealed integrated fridge / freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, and an inset 1½ bowl sink. A separate large island unit with granite worktop provides yet more storage and fitted bookshelves, and also houses an integral five ring gas hob with stainless steel and glass cooker hood over.
A door from the kitchen leads to the integral garage with an electric 'up & over' garage door with remote control. The size of the garage allows plenty of space for a car and also general storage, and also houses the central heating boiler which supplies radiators throughout the house including two in the garage which has in the past been used as a craft space. Power & lighting, and south-facing double glazed window.
Behind the kitchen is the first of the three bedrooms all of which enjoy a south-facing aspect and have laminate flooring. The first room is a large double with a built-in double wardrobe with shelving and hanging rail. Next is another smaller double, again with a built-in wardrobe, and then finally at the end is the third room, a spacious main bedroom with ample clothes space provided by two built-in wardrobes either side of the door to the en-suite which comprises a tiled shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin with light / shaver fitting over. The flooring here is wood effect vinyl.
At the end of the hall is the living room, a good-sized, particularly bright and attractive room benefitting from a wide picture window also enjoying the spectacular sea view. A contemporary style 'Stovax' multi-fuel stove set on a black slate hearth provides a cosy heat source as well as an attractive focal point although there is also a central heating radiator. Lighting is provided by a centre light fitting.
Finally the family bathroom has also been completely re-fitted by the current owner, and now comprises a stunning contemporary style free-standing bath with free-standing 'waterfall' mixer tap and shower attachment, plus a WC and wash hand basin, and a separate corner shower enclosure attractively finished with wood effect tiles and complete with a 'rainfall' shower head and separate handheld fitting. The flooring is wood effect laminate and a built-in shelved cupboard provides ample space for toiletries, towels etc.
