Reference - KA0673

Welcome to North Wart, a detached three-bedroom bungalow set within a generous plot of land. The cottage is set on high ground, surrounded by its own private land and with uninterrupted panoramic views across to Lerwick, and on a clear day, the view extends as far south as Sumburgh Head. North Wart offers a quiet rural setting with quick and easy access to Lerwick's town amenities. The house sits in eight acres of land with private secluded gardens and two woodlands where wildlife and birdsong can be enjoyed. 

Located on the Isle of Bressay, which is a welcoming and active community, which hosts the UK's most northerly Parkrun every Saturday morning. The property enjoys the convenience of being just a short seven-minute ferry journey from Lerwick. A school taxi service is available for children commuting to and from town, as well as two bus services available. The island also offers a range of local amenities, including a shop with a post office, a weekday café in the former Bressay School Building, and the Maryfield House Hotel, which features a well-regarded restaurant and bar.

This unique and inviting home is well proportioned throughout and enjoys stunning sea views across to Lerwick. Arranged across a single level, the property offers a practical and well-designed layout. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a small vestibule that leads into a bright and airy sunroom with direct views toward Lerwick. This flows into a spacious dining room, which features a stone open fireplace as its centrepiece and benefits from built-in storage cupboards. A wide archway connects the dining area to the kitchen, fitted with wall and base units and integrated appliances including an oven, hob, and dishwasher. A generous lounge is located just off the dining room and includes a small window and door leading to the rear garden.

A hallway off the kitchen leads to the principal bedroom, which is generously sized and features a large built-in wardrobe offering excellent storage. There are two further sizeable double bedrooms. At the end of the hallway is a modern bathroom comprising a walk-in shower, WC, hand basin, and heated towel rail. A well-appointed utility room, also located at the end of the hall, includes a large window with panoramic views of Lerwick and an external door providing garden access.

The property also benefits from an integral garage and an additional storage room, both accessible via the vestibule just off the sunroom.

Externally, there is a large driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, along with expansive gardens that extend from the front around to the rear. A large shed offers versatile potential and could be converted into a workspace. The owner has obtained planning permission and building warrant to convert the shed in to a dwelling, which has recently expired.

The house sits on approximately eight acres of land included with the property, further enhancing its appeal. There has also been new stock fencing around large sections of the perimeter of the property. 

Early viewing is highly recommended.
