Within a picturesque part of north Shetland mainland, this cozy, bungalow would be an ideal starter project as it benefits from sea views and is located in the tranquil, rural community of Lochend within walking distance to a spectacular beach and loch.
The garden grounds provide an opportunity to increase the footprint of the Property (subject to the usual consents), which currently benefits from solar panels (batteries not included) and a solid fuel stove in the Living Area as alternative electricity and heat sources.
The surrounding Northmavine community provides for local grocery shops and fuel, lunches and dinners at St Magnus Bay Hotel including its Sunday carvery, local Halls provide for community get togethers, Health Centre, schools and many stunning coastal walks.
The larger village of Brae is about 15 minutes’ drive with all amenities including restaurants, takeaways, hairdressers, DIY store, health centre, grocery shops, fuel, leisure centre and primary and high school.
Please note that due to construction type, the property is not suitable for standard residential mortgage lending.
This Property would be an ideal opportunity for young couples wishing to stay in their local area, those interested in a renovation project or looking for a more self-sufficient/off-grid lifestyle in a quiet, rural location.

Turn right where sign posted “North Roe/Collifirth/Ollaberry”. This road turns into a single-track road.
After Collifirth Marina where there is a sharp “U” bend over a bridge ascend the hill and then turn right where indicated by the sign “Lochend/Skea” and a red post box.
Thereafter take the second right turn and drive across a cattle grid. Turn left onto a shared access track, follow track to the right towards an agricultural shed. Turn left up a slight incline and Westview is on the left.
