Description

This extended one-bedroom traditional cottage offers a unique opportunity for investors or buyers looking to create their ideal home on the picturesque island of Stronsay. The property's layout features an entryway sun-room, a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, providing a solid foundation for a complete renovation. Additionally, there is storage space in the attic accessed by a small staircase from the kitchen, which could be transformed into extra living space. The front walled garden requires revitalization as well, offering potential for landscaping or outdoor enjoyment. As the property is currently classified as uninhabitable and does not require a home report, it presents an excellent blank canvas for redevelopment. Stronsay boasts beautiful sandy beaches and coastal walks, along with local amenities such as a Junior High School and community facilities. With regular transport connections from Kirkwall, this location blends charm with practical accessibility.
