GENERAL 

The ro-ro ferry crosses from the Shetland Mainland to Ulsta on the isle of Yell on a regular basis throughout the day.  The cottage is approximately 17 miles from Ulsta and only about 1 minute from the   ro-ro ferry to the isle of Unst.

There is a café a short walk away.  The village of Cullivoe which has a shop, post office, public hall and Primary School is approximately 3 miles away.  Older pupils go to Mid Yell Junior High School.  School transport to both schools is provided by Shetland Islands Council.

This would be an ideal starter home for a young couple or retreat for someone wanting to “get away from it all” or to enjoy the outdoors. 

The cottage enjoys a panoramic view of the south end of the isle of Unst.

The property is stone built with thick walls and a profile sheet roof. All windows are double glazed with electric storage and panel heating. The cottage is in move-into condition.

Accommodation is on two levels and comprises:

On the Ground Floor: Vestibule, Shower Room, Kitchen, Hallway, Lounge, Front Hall and Second Lounge.

On the First Floor: Upper Landing and 2 Bedrooms.

Large outbuilding.
