Detached Villa

Description

This significant stone villa, originally constructed around 1790, offers a spacious 5-bedroom main house along with an adjoining 2-bedroom annexe, set on approximately one acre of land in Unst, the northernmost inhabited island in the UK. The property requires varying degrees of modernisation throughout but presents a unique investment opportunity. With oil-fired central heating and double glazing already in place, it is well-equipped for renovations. Notable features include large living areas, five bedrooms with built-in storage, and a generous garden surrounded by mature trees that holds potential for further development (subject to planning permissions). The annexe could serve as additional living space or as a source of rental income given strong local tourism demand. With its beautiful location and historic charm, this property is perfect for those looking to create a stunning family residence or to capitalize on the area's potential as a guest house or Airbnb operation.
