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).
Outside
Sitting in approximately 2.22 acres, the property is accessed via a sealed track to a paved courtyard providing private parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to two large, detached stone-built outbuildings, one currently incorporates stables, hay store and a double garage, the other features a large lean-to glazed greenhouse. 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.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
