GENERAL

This is a rare opportunity to build a home in a young vibrant rural community. Quarff is a small friendly village with approximately 75 houses.  The public hall is well used, there are youth clubs and a mother and toddler group.

The plot is approximately 5 miles travelling distance from Lerwick, and on a regular bus route.  Cunningsburgh Primary School (includes nursery) is approximately 4 miles to the south, older pupils go to either Sandwick Junior High School or Anderson High School, Lerwick.  School transport is provided by Shetland Islands Council to all three schools. 

This is a small development of five large house plots.  The plots are well spaced out which reflects the existing building patterns in Quarff.  Plot 5 provides the opportunity to enjoy beautiful open views into and across the valley of Easter Quarff with fine sunsets over the hills of Scraefield.  The plot is predominantly south facing and will enjoy the sun throughout the day. 
 
Plot 5 extends to approximately 1251 m² and has excellent views both to the south and north.
