About
K Allan Properties are delighted to present this charming two bedroom semi-detached cottage to the market.
Situated on the historic island of Rousay, this traditional stone-built property enjoys an attractive and peaceful island setting with lovely views towards the sea and across to the Orkney Mainland.
This extended traditional cottage retains plenty of character throughout.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming living room, kitchen, utility room, bathroom, two bedrooms, and a bright sunroom which provides an ideal space to relax.
Externally, Avils enjoys established garden grounds featuring a variety of colourful planting and mature shrubs.
The side garden offers an opportunity for prospective purchasers to further develop and enhance the outdoor space. There is also a shed, garage and off-street parking.
While there are neighbouring properties nearby, the cottage's position benefits from an attractive and peaceful setting and although it would benefit from a degree of upgrading, it presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a home they can personalise and enhance.
Known as the "Egypt of the North" due to its rich archaeological heritage, Rousay offers a wonderful sense of community and an excellent range of local amenities including a nursery and primary school, village shop, community-owned hotel, heritage centre and post office.
The island is served by a regular ferry service from Tingwall, with the crossing taking approximately 25 minutes.
