    Description

    Furrow End presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly flexible island property in a secluded, peaceful setting with spectacular sea views. Set within approximately 4 acres (predominantly shoreline), the holding enjoys direct beach access and ownership of a wide stretch of foreshore, offering an exceptional coastal lifestyle on Shapinsay - one of Orkney’s most accessible islands thanks to its regular ferry service from Kirkwall.

    With 7 ensuite bedrooms and a highly adaptable layout, Furrow End presents an opportunity to acquire a property with extensive potential. Whether utilised in self-contained sections or reconfigured to create a generous family residence, the property offers remarkable versatility in a tranquil island setting.

    Accommodation
    • Main House (two storeys): ground floor living room, kitchen, and office/craft room; upstairs two ensuite bedrooms.
    • Longhouse (single storey): kitchenette/sunroom, living room, office, three ensuite bedrooms and WC.
    • Annex (single storey): kitchen, living room, rear entry with WC, two ensuite bedrooms, and a bright sunroom/entryway.

    Décor is mainly neutral offering buyers a blank canvas with significant potential. Furrow End is well suited to holiday accommodation, long-term letting or a generous family home.

    Outside
    Outside there is a large general purpose shed suitable for a variety of uses or future development subject to the appropriate consents, a traditional stone outbuilding divided in two and a further small outbuilding.
    There are small wind turbines on the neighbouring land with the plant for these in one of the outbuildings at this property. Furrow End benefits from any excess power generated.
    Panoramic views from the property include the Orkney Mainland, Gairsay, Rousay, Westray and spectacular sunsets to the west.
