Description

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Shapinsay, this intriguing development opportunity spans approximately 4.10 acres (as indicated in blue), featuring stunning elevated views over extensive farmland and the adjacent coastline. With direct access from the roadside, this site offers a serene rural atmosphere while being conveniently close to ferry links to Kirkwall. Notably, part of this land (outlined in red) has received planning permission (Ref: 24/001/PP) for a contemporary three-bedroom bungalow that boasts an airy open-plan layout coupled with modern aesthetics, such as expansive glazing and a pitched roof ready for solar panel installation. The remaining area provides ample potential for gardens, amenities, or small-scale agricultural projects—subject to necessary consents—making it an enticing prospect for creating a custom-designed home in this picturesque island locale.
