Midhouse is a beautifully renovated and surprisingly spacious three bedroom cottage, set in a peaceful position in the parish of Sandwick. Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying exceptional views, it combines traditional character with exciting potential - including Planning in Principle for a second dwelling within the grounds. This rare option offers superb flexibility for future development or multi generational living, while the site can just as easily remain part of the generous garden.

Accommodation

Inside, the cottage is full of warmth and personality. The welcoming living room features an original fireplace that could be reinstated as a working fire, enhancing the home’s cosy appeal. The kitchen is a standout space, with its beautiful flagstone floor, fitted units, electric Rayburn and room for a dining table, creating a relaxed everyday hub. A separate dining room sits just off the kitchen, ideal for family meals or entertaining. All three bedrooms are tastefully presented, with one enjoying its own en suite. A further shower room and a utility room complete the accommodation.

Outside

Set within grounds extending to approximately 0.943 acres, this property offers exceptional potential and flexibility. To the front of the house, a substantial lawn forms the proposed house site and presents a rare opportunity to create a second home in this peaceful rural setting. Planning in Principle has been granted by Orkney Islands Council (Ref: 25/377/PIP). A newly installed driveway provides convenient access and valuable off-road parking.

The sheltered garden offers an ideal canvas for a cottage style garden, while the adjoining natural area attracts abundant wildlife and enhances the property’s peaceful atmosphere. To the side of the house, there is an excellent location for a future conservatory, and a paddock to the rear further adds to the property’s rural charm, lifestyle appeal and overall flexibility.
