2 Bedroom Detached bungalow for sale in Holm, Shetland

For sale is the 'Holm' which comprises a 2 bedroom bungalow in very poor condition situated in a good sized site in East Burrafirth, a quiet and scenic yet convenient hamlet just 2 miles North of the village of Aith with all it's amenities.

The house is stone built and later extended with mass concrete and single skin block under a pitched timber roof covered with asbestos, cement sheeting.

The property is fitted with double-glazed uPVC framed windows and central heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler supplying a wet radiator system.
