An excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive rural property in Shetland's South Mainland

This unique, substantial, stone built one and a half storey dwellinghouse, set in its own acre of walled garden, was built in 1875 as a manse.  Though it requires some refurbishment and modernisation, it would provide more than adequate family accommodation and there is a enormous potential for extending and/or developing the property.    

Accommodation comprises:  on the ground floor - front and rear porches, large hallway with many original features which leads to stairway;  sittingroom with open fireplace and large bay window;  master bedroom with bay window;  diningroom with large window;  fitted kitchen with original wood flooring;  bathroom (in need of renovation); under-stairs storage which houses hot water cylinder;  upstairs - two double bedrooms with bay windows, each with a build in cupboard and door leading to eaves storage;  boxroom which could be used as an office or study.

There is also a small detached garage (in a run-down condition) and a stone-built shed with power and lighting installed which could be suitable as a small workshop, or simply for storage purposes.

Within the grounds, there is ample private parking facilities, a drying green, some mature shrubs and bushes and a vegetable plot which could be extended. 

The ground would also be suitable for grazing or the development of a market garden.  Alternatively, if planning permission were granted, as a building plot.
