Description

This detached stone property, believed to date back to the 18th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Located on the West Mainland of the Island in Swannay, the residence is well-positioned on a main bus route, facilitating easy access to both Kirkwall and Stromness. This feature can enhance its appeal for potential renters or future buyers seeking convenience. The house is currently in a partially finished state, having undergone significant work that includes nearly complete plasterboarding throughout. It offers three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a convenient ground floor W/C, separate living and dining areas, and a kitchen. With some final touches needed to bring this dwelling to completion, it provides an ideal canvas for those looking to customize their home or maximize rental potential. Swannay falls within the catchment area for Dounby Community School and Stromness Academy, making it attractive for families with children. The combination of location and accommodation lends itself well to long-term investment strategies. Water and electricity services are connected via mains, while drainage relies on a septic tank system. Currently, there is no heating system installed, allowing new owners the flexibility to choose their preferred heating source. Overall, this property not only offers charming historical character but also substantial potential for those prepared to invest time and resources into its completion and modernization.
