Furrow End, Balfour, Shapinsay, Orkney KW17

Furrow End is a substantial property on Shapinsay, arranged as a main house, a single-storey longhouse and an annex. The accommodation is described as having seven ensuite bedrooms, with living areas, kitchens or kitchenettes and office space across the separate sections. The layout could suit use as distinct areas or be adapted into a larger single residence, subject to any necessary consents and practical checks. The holding extends to approximately four acres, predominantly shoreline, with direct beach access and ownership of a stretch of foreshore. The listing also notes a large general-purpose shed, a traditional stone outbuilding divided into two sections and a further small outbuilding. Plant associated with small wind turbines on neighbouring land is housed in one of the outbuildings, and the property benefits from excess power generated. Services are stated as mains electricity and water, septic tank drainage, and oil, electric storage heater and air-source heat-pump heating. The property is on Shapinsay, served by a regular ferry from Kirkwall. K Allan Properties is arranging viewings by appointment.
