Description

This traditional two-bedroom farmhouse presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment on the picturesque island of Eday, set within an expansive 22.56 acres of crofted land featuring foreshore rights. Nestled on the western side, the property boasts stunning views of the sea and a serene ambiance typical of rural island life. The generous farmland comprises both grazing areas and natural landscapes, enclosed by traditional stone dykes that enhance its rustic charm. The farmhouse itself retains numerous appealing original features but stands in need of modernisation to fully realise its potential. The spacious living room is particularly inviting, featuring a bottled gas fire against an exposed stone wall that adds character. A functional kitchen equipped with contemporary cabinets overlooks the surrounding land, making it a pleasant space for culinary endeavours. Both double bedrooms offer comfortable living quarters; one includes built-in wardrobe space. The compact shower room is practical with its corner shower setup, WC, and storage options. Surrounding the house are many versatile outbuildings including traditional stone structures suitable for workshops or livestock, as well as a sizeable steel-framed shed ideal for agricultural machinery or equipment storage. Collectively, these buildings present ample opportunities for agricultural diversification or lifestyle ventures. With its extensive land holdings and varied structures, this property holds great promise for those looking to invest in a project that harmonises rural charm with modern demands.
