2 bed bungalow for sale

West Cottage, Orphir, Orkney KW17

West Cottage is a traditionally built two bedroom detached bungalow set within a peaceful rural location in Orphir, offering an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a home to modernise and make their own. The property sits within generous garden grounds to both the front and rear and benefits from a large garage, lean to shed, and an additional chicken shed/coop, making it ideal for those looking for outside space or hobby use.

Inside, the bungalow provides a surprisingly spacious layout, including two bedrooms, two reception/living rooms, a good sized kitchen, shower room, and ample built in storage throughout. The interior is in need of refurbishment, presenting a blank canvas for renovation and redesign.

The kitchen offers extensive cupboard space and dual-aspect windows providing natural light. Both bedrooms and living rooms feature good proportions, with one of the reception rooms benefiting from large inset window areas. The shower room is fitted as a wet room style space with shower, WC and wash hand basin. Throughout, the home is equipped mostly with uPVC double glazed windows, air source heating, and Dimplex Quantum storage heaters, supporting efficient, low maintenance living.

Externally, the property’s sizeable plot provides excellent potential for landscaping, vegetable growing, or simply enjoying the rural surroundings. The large garage and outbuildings offer great flexibility for storage, workshop use.
