Sensitively renovated with exquisite fittings, the owner has achieved a unique mix of relaxed contemporary decor whilst keeping the Orcadian character of this traditional cottage. With two bathrooms this is real modern living, one on the first floor with a duo bath/shower and on the ground floor an underfloor heated rain-shower wet room.
The open plan bedroom has a magnificent sea view seen from the comfortable king-size bed. The chaise sofa in the sitting-room is ideal for lounging in front of the multi fuel stove and you can while away hours listening to the waves lapping and watching the sea birds, boats, ferries, yachts, cruise ships and the occasional tall ship pass by. There is a quiet reading room with daybed on the first floor with a desk and broadband hub for Wi-Fi internet. This room can be converted to a second bedroom ideal for a small family.
You will love the attention to detail in the spacious kitchen/diner equipped for proficient cooks and comfortable elegant dining. Grocery shops, a delicatessen, excellent butcher, local fish/crab/lobster processors and irresistible local baking are a stroll away for eating-in ingredients or, taste local dishes at the cafes, pubs, restaurants and takeaways.
