Description

This substantial stone villa, originally constructed circa 1790, offers a unique investment opportunity on the Isle of Unst in the Shetland Islands. Comprising a main house with five bedrooms and an attached two-bedroom annexe, this property spans approximately one acre and is surrounded by expansive grounds with mature trees. While it currently requires some modernisation and repairs, including updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, the potential is immense. With features like oil-filled central heating and double glazing already in place, a thoughtful refurbishment could transform this property into a stunning family home or a profitable guest house or Airbnb (subject to necessary planning consents). The extensive garden space could further accommodate additional lodgings or eco pods, increasing potential revenue streams from your investment. Notably, the annexe provides opportunities for generating extra income through rentals. Situated in an area that attracts tourism and contractors alike, this property is poised for significant value growth once renovated.
