A superb opportunity to purchase this detached, four-bedroom bungalow with integral double garage within spacious, well maintained garden grounds. It is situated within a rural area on the east coast of Shetland with sea views.

The property would benefit from modernisation, painting and decorating but this is reflected in the asking Price.

It is close to the two ferry terminals providing access to the Islands of Whalsay and Out Skerries, together with the village of Vidlin with its local shop, primary school and marina. The larger township of Brae is approximately 13 minutes’ drive away (approx. 10 miles) and provides local amenities including a Co-op, fuel stop with local shop and garage, DIY and agricultural shop, tools and machinery hire shop, restaurants, take-aways, school and leisure centre.

This Property within its rural location presents an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer, a growing family or those requiring one level accommodation.
