In More Detail

The Property which was constructed in the late 1800’s and further extensions were built in 1930, 1982 and 1997 is situated in the village of Scousburgh which lies approximately 19 miles south of Lerwick. Scousburgh is a small community in the Parish of Dunrossness, in the South Mainland of Shetland, overlooking the picturesque Spiggie Loch.  The surrounding properties are mainly residential to a low density.  

Outside the property a concrete pathway / paving stones leads around the south, east and north sides of the property complete with benches to enjoy the views and the gardens full of beautiful and exotic plants, shrubs, bushes and trees.   The parking area can accommodate three vehicles next to a good sized wooden garden shed.  Two gates lead into the gardens - one through the lower and upper front garden with sitting areas to the main door and the other through a rockery area leading up to the conservatory door.   The upper back garden on the north side boasts a specially constructed BBQ Hoose equipped with seats and open area for cooking. The oil storage tank is farther south. A well supplies the fresh water from a shared header tank. 

The property is accessed by turning up the branch road to Vanlop opposite the garage at Scousburgh and after about 150 metres a right turn takes you onto an unsurfaced road leading to Colsa at the south end.
