Description
Little Crofty is a traditional two-storey Orkney farmhouse that combines period charm with modern comforts. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, while downstairs the welcoming accommodation includes a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom with shower over the bath and a useful walk-in storage cupboard housing the central heating system.
The dining room and living room each feature a log burner, creating cosy and inviting spaces in which to relax and entertain. The property benefits from air-to-water central heating with radiators and UPVC-framed double glazing, providing comfort throughout the year.
Outside, the large enclosed garden is laid to lawn and enjoys stunning sea views, creating a beautiful setting for outdoor living and enjoying the surrounding countryside. A gate leads to a private, sheltered patio area, while the driveway provides ample parking and leads to a large detached garage with electric up-and-over door.
A particular highlight is the traditional detached stone building, which has been beautifully renovated to create The Cottage. Currently operating as a successful short-term holiday let, it has a studio style living space with a double bed, seating and kitchen area together with a modern shower room. This versatile space offers the potential for an additional income stream or comfortable accommodation for visiting family and friends.
Located in the peaceful rural surroundings of Tankerness, yet only a 10–15 minute drive from Kirkwall and close to the popular Sheila Fleet Kirk Gallery & Café, Little Crofty offers the best of both worlds. With its character, space, sea views and additional accommodation, it is an appealing family home and an excellent opportunity to enjoy the relaxed pace and beauty of island life.
