Description
Located near the Dounby village in Orkney's historic West Mainland, part of the cottage is currently operated as a successful Airbnb let, though Heima would also make a superb full-time residence for those seeking tranquillity without sacrificing convenience. Local amenities are only a short drive away, including shops, a primary school, medical centre and community facilities, while Kirkwall and Stromness remain easily accessible.
This home benefits from an energy efficient air source heat pump serving underfloor heating and radiators, and a wood burning stove.
Heima is a rare opportunity - a beautifully presented cottage in an idyllic setting with views that truly must be experienced to be appreciated.
Accommodation - Inside, the generous hallway immediately sets the tone, with a full-height rear window drawing in natural light and framing the landscape beyond. The dining kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances, and its dining area offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy the ever-changing scenery. The living room is a cosy, inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove, flowing through to the sun room where the views continue to take centre stage. A useful utility room provides access to the large floored attic, while a loft office accessed from the living room offers a peaceful workspace. The two double bedrooms are beautifully presented, and the home also benefits from two well-appointed bathrooms.
Outside - Outside, Heima’s garden includes carefully manicured lawns, colourful borders, and thoughtfully designed patio areas creating a tranquil outdoor haven, all set against the backdrop of those remarkable views. To the front, a polycrub and a paddock offer fantastic potential for gardening, small livestock, or simply enjoying more of the outdoor lifestyle the property encourages.
