Welcome to Stove Buildings
Stove Buildings presents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a spacious property with endless potential. Originally, the property was a two-bedroom house with a large byre attached, once owned by the harbour master who enjoyed a prime view across the harbour. The byre was later converted into four flats. The current owners began transforming the property into one large family home, but it could equally be reinstated as the original two-bedroom house with four separate flats, or completed to create a unique and generous home. The accommodation is at varying stages of completion, with some rooms finished and others awaiting work, providing a versatile blank canvas.
Location
Stove Buildings is situated in Walls, approximately 25 miles west of Lerwick, offering a 40-minute commute to town. The area provides excellent local amenities, including Happy Hansel Primary School and a well-stocked shop, with scenic coastal walks nearby.
Accommodation
The original house is accessed via the front entrance on the left-hand side when facing the property. Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a hallway with an open staircase and a large storage cupboard beneath. To the left, a spacious lounge features traditional wooden flooring and a fireplace. Beyond, a newly fitted shower room includes a walk-in shower, W.C. And hand basin. The modern kitchen is also newly fitted, offering a combination of wall and base units and a large cupboard housing the hot water tank.
Upstairs, the landing includes a sizeable cupboard. To the right is a spacious bedroom of generous proportions, benefitting from dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light. To the left was originally another large bedroom, now opened through into the section that once comprised the flats. This could easily be reinstated to restore the original two-bedroom layout. The original house is served by an air source heat pump connected to a wet radiator system.
Continuing through to the former sheltered accommodation, you find two further spacious bedrooms along the hallway, one with a built-in wardrobe. The first floor also includes another bedroom, a small kitchen area, a bathroom, and one final bedroom, along with a large storage cupboard. A staircase connects this area to the ground floor.
On the ground floor of the original house, a large reception room features a fireplace and windows on two sides, allowing plenty of natural light. Adjacent is a potential kitchen area. This level also includes a bathroom, W.C., another generous room, and an additional space that could serve as a kitchen.
The flats were previously heated by high-retention storage heaters, rather than the air-to-water system in the main house.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout.
External Features
Externally, Stove Buildings sits on a generous plot. To the rear is a well-maintained, fenced garden with a large shed, while the front offers another section of garden. An old stone-built ruin, also included within the property, adds further character.
