Description

Set in a desirable location on Sunnybank Road in St Ola, this 4-bedroom family home occupies an elevated position that offers extensive views over Kirkwall and Kirkwall Bay. While the property is in need of modernisation, it presents a unique opportunity for renovation, allowing potential buyers to reimagine and enhance the home to suit contemporary tastes. The layout features a spacious living room that invites natural light and showcases the surrounding vistas. The ground floor includes a kitchen with an adjoining utility room, a shower room, and one of the four bedrooms. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms can be found alongside a separate WC, along with ample storage options that include built-in cupboards and eaves access. One of the standout attributes of this property is its generous outdoor space. The large garden boasts mature trees and shrubs that add character and provide a sense of privacy. The grounds also feature a greenhouse, shed, workshop, and additional storage solutions, as well as a garage, making it an ideal setting for gardening enthusiasts or anyone needing extra space for hobbies. Situated within the catchment area for Glaitness Primary School and Kirkwall Grammar School, this property is located in a community-focused neighbourhood known for its peaceful atmosphere. Despite its tranquil surroundings, residents are just a short drive from the centre of Kirkwall—the capital of Orkney—where you'll find various amenities such as shops, supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities, and the historic St Magnus Cathedral. Proximity to transport links like the harbour and ferry services enhances convenience for those commuting or traveling further afield via Kirkwall Airport. With its attractive location and renovation potential, this home offers an exciting opportunity to invest in creating a tailored family residence while benefiting from all that St Ola has to offer.
