Location
Located in the southwestern part of Mainland
Orkney, regularly voted one of the happiest
places in the UK to live and bring up children
and the largest island in the archipelago, the property enjoys an idyllic location with stunning
views over the Hoy Sound and Scapa Flow. The nearby seaport of Stromness offers a wide range of local amenities as well as a yachting/boating marina, swimming pool, gym & squash court. Stromness is home to the world-renowned Pier Arts Centre. It is also the base for the Orkney Folk Festival every May and the 5 day St. Magnus Festival (classical) at Midsummer. Stromness is the heart of the Orkney diving industry and there are many sporting opportunities with excellent brown
trout fishing, sea angling and wild-fowling. There is very little light pollution in the area, so great for viewing the northern lights.

The property enjoys access to nearby state schools including Stromness Primary School and Stromness Academy.

Transport links are excellent, Stromness ferry terminal connects Orkney to Scrabster on the mainland of Scotland and Kirkwall ferry terminal
connects to Aberdeen. Kirkwall airport offers flights to all Scottish airports and direct flights to Manchester and Bergen (summer only).

The formal garden features areas of level and gently-sloping lawn bordered by wellstocked flowerbeds. The remaining grounds comprise areas of stock-fenced rough grazing/meadow, the whole enjoying far-reaching views over Hoy Sound towards the smaller island of Hoy and beyond, across the Pentland Firth.
