Offering a great first time buy or rental property, 16 Unicorn View is ‘Scandinavian’ style, semi-detached property on the north side of Lerwick, presented in ‘walk-into’ condition.

Constructed in the late 1990s of timber frame/timber clad construction below a tiled roof, the property benefits from ‘NorDan’ double glazed windows and electric storage/panel heating.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises a very spacious kitchen/living/dining room with contemporary style fitted units, a double bedroom with ample built-in clothes space, and a modern shower room on the ground floor, plus a spacious 18’ x 15’ main living area upstairs.

Externally there is tarred off-street parking for a couple of cars plus a low maintenance garden area with lawn, stone chipped drying green, and large garden shed with power.

The town bus service provides transport into the centre of Lerwick throughout the day.

Entry to the property is to the side via a covered porch area and front door with triple point locking which opens to a vestibule with coat hooks, fitted meter cupboard and glazed inner door to the hall, both the hall and vestibule being laid with laminate flooring and both having skirtings and door surrounds etc. attractively finished in a contemporary grey colour as is the case throughout the rest of the house. A handy built-in shelved airing cupboard in the hall houses the Kingspan Ultrasteel hot water tank and a washing machine which is included in the sale, as well as providing useful storage space.

A further glazed door from the hall opens to the kitchen/living/dining room which enjoys a dual aspect with a double window to the front of the house and a second window to the kitchen area to the side. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs, and also a sofa, whilst the kitchen area is attractively fitted with light grey modern units which include an integral oven and hob with glass splash back and stainless steel cooker hood over, plus plumbing for a dishwasher which again is included in the sale. The freestanding fridge/freezer is available by separate negotiation. Inset 1½ bowl sink and glazed display cabinet. The whole space is floored with slate tile effect laminate and there is a clothes pulley over the storage/convector heater, and two ceiling mounted spotlight fittings provide artificial light.

An open-tread pine staircase from the kitchen/dining room leads up to the main living area on the first floor, a very well-proportioned space lit by a double window to the gable wall and a further Velux with integral blind. Potentially this space could perhaps be used or split off for use as a second bedroom although this would be subject to any necessary consents and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard. Wood effect laminate flooring is laid throughout and ample power points and TV/telephone points are provided. A hatch cleverly concealed by shelving for CDs etc. provides access to further floored storage space in the eaves. The feature centre light fitting is controlled by a dimmer switch.

Back off the hall downstairs is a carpeted double bedroom to the rear of the house which benefits from ample clothes space provided by a built-in double wardrobe concealed behind sliding mirror doors, plus a second shelved cupboard. Finally there is a modern shower room comprising a wet-wall lined corner shower enclosure with ‘rainfall’ shower, additional hand held unit and glazed screen/door, plus a WC and contemporary style white wash hand basin bowl set on a wall-hung drawer unit which provides plenty of space for toiletries, towels etc., the wash hand basin having a free stranding mixer tap and glass splash back, plus mirror over. Heating is provided by a ladder style heated towel rail. Vinyl flooring.

The sale will include all carpets and other fixed floor coverings, the curtains and blinds, and light fittings, along with the washing machine and dishwasher. The fridge/freezer and other contents are available by separate negotiation.

The property sits in a low maintenance, fenced garden comprising a small lawn plus a large stone chipped drying green which extends around the rear of the property where there is an external cold water tap and a large, lined-out, lockable garden shed (approximately 16’ x 8’) with power and lighting, fitted work top, cupboard unit and shelf space. Two tarmac parking spaces are provided.
