5 bed detached house for sale

Harbour View, Shapinsay, Orkney KW17

Harbour View is a striking detached residence with a unique heritage, originally built and serving as the Shapinsay school until 1970, it then housed a boatbuilding business and now offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive island home. Set in an elevated position, the property enjoys captivating sea views and a wonderful sense of privacy. The generous and versatile accommodation includes five well-proportioned bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, a bright dual-aspect living room, two spacious kitchen/dining areas, a family bathroom, and a separate WC-perfectly suited to modern family living or multi-generational use. Complementing the main house are an integral garage and two substantial workshops, one previously utilised as a boatshed, offering excellent potential for storage, creative pursuits, or business use (subject to the necessary consents). The surrounding grounds are equally appealing, featuring a sheltered walled kitchen garden, a range of practical outbuildings, and a large private driveway with ample parking. While some renovation would enhance the property, Harbour View presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly characterful and stylish home in a beautiful island setting.
