Old Scatness, Virkie

 

Two bedroom former croft house in the picturesque area of Scatness, Shetland. Nestled along the rugged coastline, this traditional cottage offers a unique blend of comfort, tranquility, and breathtaking sea views that will leave you in awe.

As you approach the property, you’re immediately captivated by its idyllic setting. Perched within a lovely plot, the house commands panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean, where ever-changing seascapes and vibrant sunsets create a stunning backdrop for your everyday life.

The property is a traditional stone built croft house, which has later been extended, under a pitched timber roof covered in reconstituted tiles. The property is heated by a wet radiator system via an electric boiler.
