Hello there
Here for sale I have an absolutely fabulous opportunity to purchase an idyllic rural property situated on the crime free Island of Eday.
A one bedroom modernised stone cottage with stone byres and other outbuildings, set in 2 acres with it's own beach and caves. All for a quarter of the price of a terrace house in 'Hammersmith'
It the last house on the north shore of Eday (so no passing traffic). Eday is one of the northern Isles of Orkney.

There are lawned gardens to the front and one side of the cottage and a fenced vegetable garden to the rear approx 80ft x 45ft containing a 30ft x 14ft polytunnel frame which will be recovered shortly.
