    Description

    K Allan Properties are delighted to present Berstane House, an exceptional and rarely available stately home with multiple income producing dwellings, set within approximately eight acres of beautiful grounds on the outskirts of Kirkwall.
    Enjoying open sea views, expansive gardens and an area of established woodland, this impressive property offers a rare combination of historic charm, generous living space and outstanding versatility, all within easy reach of the town’s amenities.
    The property offers remarkable flexibility and would suit a variety of uses, from a prestigious family home or multi generational living, to holiday accommodation or boutique hospitality, subject to the necessary planning consents.

    The Main House
    The principal residence is a striking stately home, rich in period features including ornate cornicing, working fireplaces and large sash-style windows that reflect its grand heritage.
    Owner’s accommodation is located on the ground floor and offers generous, elegant living spaces. Accommodation includes an impressive large living room with fireplace and bay window enjoying stunning coastal views, a games room with multi fuel stove and bay window, and a beautifully proportioned sun room with direct access outdoors - a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery and, on clear nights, the Northern Lights - and 3 en-suite double bedrooms.

    Lower Ground Floor – Self Contained Flats
    The lower ground floor of the main house contains two self contained flats, each with its own private entrance, which can also be accessed from the owner’s accommodation above:
    •Flat One comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.
    •Flat Two offers two bedrooms, a kitchen/living room and a shower room.
    These flats currently provide rental income, but could equally be used for extended family accommodation or guests.

    Additional Dwellings
    In an addition to the main house, there are four further self contained one bedroom flats, each with private access and parking. All are currently let, providing a reliable and established income stream, making Berstane House particularly attractive to purchasers seeking an investment opportunity alongside a magnificent private home.

    Set within approximately eight acres of private grounds, including gardens, open lawns and woodland, Berstane House enjoys a wonderful sense of tranquillity with ever changing coastal views. With a fascinating historical association — believed to include a link to renowned Arctic explorer John Rae — Berstane House is a truly special offering, combining heritage, lifestyle and opportunity in equal measure.
