In More Detail

This property was originally a “But & Ben” cottage built over 100 years ago, which has since been extended.  It is situated in a very peaceful rural location within approx. 22 miles of Lerwick.  It is double glazed throughout with Adamsons windows and benefits from oil-fired central heating.  

The local amenities are grouped together at Dunrossness (about 3 miles from the house), on the main Lerwick to Sumburgh road.  These include a mini-supermarket with post office & fuel and the area's primary school. The house is also handily placed for the airport at Sumburgh (6 miles approx.) for air travel to mainland Scotland.  Local attractions include the archaeological sites at Jarlshof and Old Scatness Broch, Sumburgh Head Lighthouse and Nature Reserve and the beaches at St Ninian’s, Scousburgh and Quendale. 

Council Tax is understood currently to be Band A. Prospective purchasers should however contact Shetland Islands Council directly for confirmation. Details of Council Tax rates can be found on Shetland Island Council’s website at:
