Description

Mounthigh presents a significant opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors on the scenic island of Stronsay. This extended one-bedroom traditional cottage is currently in need of complete refurbishment, offering a blank canvas to create a charming home or rental property. The layout includes an entryway/sunroom, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, with additional potential in the attic spaces accessible by a small staircase from the kitchen. The front garden is walled and also requires attention but holds potential for outdoor enjoyment or landscaping projects. Notably, this property is classified as uninhabitable and does not require a home report. Stronsay itself is renowned for its picturesque sandy beaches and breathtaking coastal walks, complemented by local amenities like a Junior High School, shop, café, and community-run hotel. Regular air and ferry transport from Kirkwall ensures accessibility to the mainland.
