view over the land to the north-east
Non-croft land estimated to extend to around 4.8 acres or thereby as shown on the attached plan, at Dunrossness in the south mainland of Shetland approximately 22 miles from Lerwick, with easy access to the airport at Sumburgh.
The land enjoys a southerly aspect with fine open views over the voe and out to sea.
The generally level area of ground already has Outline Planning Permission in place for three large house sites although it is thought there may be potential for more, subject to the usual consents.
The three sites range in size from around 0.27 acres up to 0.45 acres, as shown on the attached plan. Sites 1 & 4 in particular should allow for plenty of space for a large detached house plus a garage and a good-sized garden.
Local amenities in the area include the primary school and Mainland’s mini supermarket which are just over a mile away.
| Price: | OFFERS INVITED for the three sites individually or as a whole, or alternatively a sale of the whole area would be considered. |
|---|---|
| Entry: | By arrangement. |
| Viewing: | By simply visiting the site. |
General Information
The land is predominately level with access directly off the side road between Clumlie & Boddam.
Rights for connection into an existing septic tank which serves the houses at Dalsetter Wynd will be included. There are understood to electricity and water services in the vicinity but prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard.
As note the sites could be sold individual or as a whole, or consideration will be given to the sale of the whole 4.8 acres. This latter option would provide a great opportunity for a single site set in a large paddock.
There are a range of local amenities just over a mile from the land which includes Dunrossness Primary School (older pupils go to Sandwick Junior High or Lerwick), and Mainland’s mini-supermarket / post office & filing station.

Important Information for Prospective Purchasers
This schedule is intended only to help you decide whether to view the property. We always recommend you view the property personally.
The information is believed to be correct, but it is not warranted and is not to form part of any contract of sale. All dates, distances, areas and room sizes noted are approximate and for use as a general guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the working condition or otherwise of any equipment such as central heating or kitchen appliances.
This schedule should not be taken as a comment on the condition of the property. This is a matter for your surveyor and we recommend that once you have found a property you are interested in, you obtain a survey report. We can provide details of surveyors if required.
Interested parties are advised to note their interest through their solicitor as soon as possible so that they can be informed if a closing date is fixed. Noting interest does not place any obligation on the seller to set a closing date or to give any noted interests the opportunity to offer. Whilst every effort will be made to advise noted interests of any closing date set, this cannot be guaranteed.
No responsibility will be accepted for expenses incurred by parties who have noted interest but do not get an opportunity to offer, or for any expenses incurred traveling to properties which have been sold or withdrawn.
