Description

This distinctive two-bedroom detached cottage, Glenerne, is nestled in a serene rural environment on the picturesque island of Westray. The property seamlessly marries traditional charm with modern amenities. Inside, you'll discover an inviting open-plan layout adorned with varnished flagstones and timber floorboards that create a warm atmosphere. The cottage is equipped with efficient heating solutions, including a ground source heat pump coupled with underfloor heating, as well as a solid fuel stove for added coziness during colder months. The home features uPVC double-glazed windows to enhance thermal efficiency. Set amidst expansive garden grounds, this property not only offers privacy but also plenty of space for outdoor pursuits or relaxation. A noteworthy feature is the detached outbuilding; while it requires renovation, it presents a remarkable opportunity for future development—whether to convert it into additional living space, a workshop, or storage. Additionally, Glenerne benefits from private septic tank facilities and falls within the catchment area for Westray Primary and Westray Junior High School, making it an attractive option for families seeking investment potential in this tranquil setting.
