Description

**CLOSING DATE SET - FRIDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2024 12 NOON**


Charming Two Bedroom detached house situated in Brough on the island of Whalsay. Hillslea was built c.1939 and is of mass concrete construction and overclad with timber weatherboarding. The property was later extended at the rear which houses the shower room. The house benefits from mostly Upvc double glazed windows and central heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler serving a wet radiator system. The heating and hot water systems were recently replaced as was the kitchen and ground floor shower room. A large proportion of the house has been upgraded with additional thermal insulation and there are good sized gardens at the front and rear as well as a driveway and two large sheds.

This presents a perfect opportunity for first time buyers or downsizers to purchase a property in move-in condition.
