PROPERTY

Large plot extending to 0.16 hectares with derelict house and outbuildings.  The house and outbuildings are stone built but are in a very poor condition, with a combination of asbestos and felt roofs.  The site is enclosed with a mixture of dry stone dykes and post and wire fencing with steel gate giving vehicular access.  The dry stone walls are in a rundown condition.

This is a substantial elevated site with views of Vaila Voe with the Isle of Vaila in the background.  There is potential for development for a single dwelling with a large garden or for a number of smaller units subject to receiving the necessary consents from Shetland Islands Council.
