Two reception room / three bedroom detached property with an integral garage, in convenient central Lerwick location just off Twageos Road, within walking distance of Commercial Street & town centre amenities.

The accommodation comprises a sittingroom & separate dining room, modern fitted kitchen with space for a small table & chairs, two double bedrooms (one with extensive fitted bedroom furniture), single bedroom, bathroom & separate toilet, plus a good-sized utility room.

The property is set in a large established garden with plenty of parking and a garden shed and there is a view at the rear past the houses opposite to the harbour entrance & Bressay.

Some updating would be beneficial which is reflected in the price, although the property already has uPVC double glazed windows & doors.

The property benefits from plenty of parking and a very large garden including a lawn & separate drying green, several well-established rockeries, and a wooden SHED (approx. 2.85m x 2.25m) (9’4” x 7’5”) with power & lighting.

Note: a small triangular area of ground measuring 7m x 4.3m in the south-western corner of the site (at the back of the garden) is being transferred to an adjoining property and is therefore excluded from the sale. In addition the corner fence post in the southernmost corner of the site (again at the back of the garden) is approximately 1.6m too far to the east. A small section of the fence (approximately 4m) is therefore in the incorrect position. The property is being sold on this basis.

LOCATION

Gressy Loan runs between Knab Road & Twageos Road. No. 9 is situated at the lower Twageos Road end and is the first house on the left after the coastguard building.

The property is conveniently situated by Anderson High School and there are pleasant walks around the Knab at the end of the road.

Council Tax

Understood to currently be Band E.  Prospective purchasers should however contact Shetland Islands Council directly for confirmation.
