Directions
Approaching from the north on the main A970 Lerwick – Sumburgh road, drive through Dunrossness past Mainland’s store. After approximately two miles just after the brow of Ward Hill where the road slopes down to the airport, turn left by the bus stop to ‘North Town’. ‘Jayfield’ is the first house by the roadside on the right.
Local Amenities
There are a range of local amenities at Dunrossness a couple of miles from the house including the local primary school (the older pupils go to Sandwick junior high or Lerwick), and Mainland’s mini-supermarket & post office at a small retail site which also has fuel pumps, off-licence & hairdresser. There is a further local shop at Toab, a hotel at Sumburgh and marina at the Pool of Virkie.
Buses to Lerwick run along the main road allowing commuting to Lerwick by bus if required, and of course the nearby airport at Sumburgh is easily accessible for air travel to mainland Scotland.
There are many places of interest in the south mainland area within easy reach of the house including Sumburgh Head, Jarlshof, the archaeological site at Scatness, Quendale Mill, Loch of Spiggie Reserve, the croft house museum and, slightly further afield, St Ninian’s Isle.
Council Tax
Understood to currently be Band C. Prospective purchasers should however contact Shetland Islands Council directly for confirmation.
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.
