Overview
Spacious, three double bedroom refurbished property in great, very central, Lerwick location just up Queen's Lane from the post office on Commercial Street. The property has an unusually private and secluded walled back garden, ideal for children or dogs.
The property which benefits from central heating provided by the Lerwick District Heating system, has been extensively refurbished in recent years including new windows and doors, a new kitchen, two new shower rooms, and complete re-decoration throughout.
Arranged over two floors the semi-detached accommodation comprises a generously proportioned living / dining room, a particularly bright space with windows at either end, a modern fitted kitchen, shower room & hallway on the ground floor with hardwearing 'Karndean' vinyl flooring throughout, and three carpeted double bedrooms and a second shower room upstairs.
The contents are available by separate negotiation.

To the front of the house is a small front garden area laid with chips for low maintenance, a double glazed uPVC front door which opens to the hall, a bright space thanks a large window area to the side of the front door and further light coming from window to the landing upstairs.

(Approx. 3.9m x 2.6m) (12'10" x 8'6") Also a bright space thanks to its dual aspect, the two windows and the uPVC double glazed back door looking out over the back garden area. The room is attractively fitted with units in a grey gloss finish set off by white worktops and black and grey tiled splashbacks plus a stainless steel splashback behind the freestanding cooker which is included in the sale along with the fridge / freezer. Inset 1½ bowl sink. A small built-in cupboard houses the district heating unit.

Again the flooring is 'Karndean' vinyl and there are two feature light fittings, TV point & two radiators.

Important Information for Prospective Purchasers
This schedule is intended only to help you decide whether to view the property. We always recommend you view the property personally.
The information is believed to be correct, but it is not warranted and is not to form part of any contract of sale. All dates, distances, areas and room sizes noted are approximate and for use as a general guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the working condition or otherwise of any equipment such as central heating or kitchen appliances.
This schedule should not be taken as a comment on the condition of the property. This is a matter for your surveyor and we recommend that once you have found a property you are interested in, you obtain a survey report. We can provide details of surveyors if required.
Interested parties are advised to note their interest through their solicitor as soon as possible so that they can be informed if a closing date is fixed. Noting interest does not place any obligation on the seller to set a closing date or to give any noted interests the opportunity to offer. Whilst every effort will be made to advise noted interests of any closing date set, this cannot be guaranteed.
No responsibility will be accepted for expenses incurred by parties who have noted interest but do not get an opportunity to offer, or for any expenses incurred traveling to properties which have been sold or withdrawn.
Thanks again for your brilliant service with both my property sales over the past years. Your experience in Shetland is much noted with local people.
Selling my house whilst living in Edinburgh was a daunting prospect but I should not have worried. The communications between both parties was easy and the sale of my property went through without any hitches.
