Dowle, Smith & Rutherford

Particularly attractive four / five bedroom detached property, in elevated position in popular new development enjoying fine panoramic views over the bay of Gulberwick and across to Bressay, and within easy reach of the town centre just three miles away.

This NHBC registered property was completed by JHB for the current owners at the end of 2007. Although the outer shell is a standard house design, the owners worked with Alan McKay Architect regarding the internal layout, resulting in a particularly well laid out interior with some clever design touches.

In addition to two double & two single bedrooms, the light & airy accommodation also includes a very spacious 26’ sittingroom / dining room with patio doors and extensive corner window, a 2nd reception room / study on the ground floor which could alternatively be used as a 5th bedroom, an attractively fitted breakfasting kitchen and a utility room. There are three bath / shower rooms one of which is en-suite to the substantial 21’ long master bedroom.

Other features include solid oak flooring throughout the kitchen / dining area & hall, a roll top bath in the main bathroom, and built-in wardrobes to all four first floor bedrooms.
