For Sale, North House and Self-Catering Cottage, in the Shetland Islands

A delightful four bedroom, traditional stone-built property with considerable character, including a detached, two-bedroom self-catering 3-star  (VisitScotland) fully-furnished cottage, plus a range of outbuildings set in 1.2 acres.  The cottage, which is conveniently situated next to the house in a secluded, picturesque location, provides a healthy holiday rental income and is ideally located for a ‘get-away-from-it-all’ holiday experience, and for exploring the north mainland of Shetland with its dramatic cliff and hill scenery.  An area on the opposite side of the shore was the location for the filming of otters in a recent BBC Springwatch programme as well as the more recent BBC Shetland Diaries series. The cottage offers an immediate revenue generator for the successful purchaser.

The fully double glazed, oil-fired centrally heated house also includes a sitting-room with open fire, separate dining room, conservatory, attractively re-fitted farmhouse style kitchen / dining room with range cooker, superb well-appointed main bathroom with bath & separate shower, plus a further bathroom/shower room and a utility room. The house, plus large integral garage, sits in its own mature grounds, along with a stone-built workshop, former stable, and garden shed. There are three further areas of ground adjacent to the house including a fenced paddock.
 
The self-catering business has been expanded in recent years by the current owners. It is generally fully booked over the summer period from around mid-April to the end of September, and there has been an increasing number of requests for longer-term winter lets.  Alternatively it could be used as ancillary accommodation to the main house, as a ‘Granny’ annex, or perhaps a home office, subject to any necessary consents. The adjoining former stable also offers potential for further development.
