With 180o uninterrupted, picturesque sea views and easterly aspect, this is a unique opportunity to purchase a one and a half storey But n’ Ben style Shetland Cottage within the rural community of Mossbank.
The dwellinghouse requires extensive renovation and upgrading and is not suitable for a mortgage due to its poor condition and dampness. All queries regarding works should be directed to a surveyor/building contractor with usual consents being obtained from Shetland Islands Council.
The property currently comprises two good size downstairs rooms one with Raeburn and the other with electric corner shower, small galley with sink, separate WC off the porch and two double bedrooms upstairs.
Mossbank benefits from a Primary School, Community Hall and Grocery Shop with fuel. The larger village of Brae is close by with all local amenities, such as, grocery shops, DIY shops, restaurants, take-aways, a Primary and High School and leisure centre. A short drive will further north takes you to the ferry terminals at Toft/Vidlin that provides access to the Northern Islands of Yell, Unst and Fetlar.
This property presents an ideal opportunity for those looking for a project.
