Four bedroom detached house

Great opportunity to acquire this traditional four bedroom detached house, keenly priced at a level to sell reflecting the improvements required.

The house is set on the peaceful island of Whalsay with beautiful scenery. The property offers a great renovation opportunity for buyers able to make improvements to enhance the property and add value over time. There are high moisture readings within the property as per the home report, so further investigation should be sought prior to purchase. Due to the mass concrete construction, restricted lending will apply.

Accommodation comprises hallway, lounge with multi fuel stove, family room, open plan dining kitchen, two bathrooms, and four bedrooms, master with en suite. Features oil fired central heating and double glazing. Externally there is a generous garden which is well maintained, with established trees and a private driveway. There is also a paddock and small stable. Burnside presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a family home on a peaceful and welcoming island. Council Tax Band: A.

Please Note:
The Single Survey notes higher-than-satisfactory moisture meter readings in parts of the sitting room walls and floor, together with evidence of water penetration and condensation within roof voids. The property also requires upgrading and repair in several areas. Prospective purchasers are advised to review the Home Report in full prior to bidding.

Burnside is situated in Brough, Whalsay, which is an island to the east of Shetland, approximately a 30-minute ferry journey from Mainland Shetland. The ferry to Whalsay departs from Laxo, which is around 20 miles from Lerwick. Whalsay is home to a welcoming community and provides many local amenities, including Whalsay Primary School, a Leisure Centre, a Health Centre, two well-regarded shops, the Whalsay Boating Club and a Golf Course. Whalsay is a scenic island offering an array of beautiful coastal walks.
