Back View of Cottage Bottom
While in Orkney we looked at a few houses ,most of which did not make any impression on us,but one stood out from the others, situated in Front road St Margaret's Hope it was a 180-200 year old terraced cottage in a quiet area only a stones throw from the sea. The cottage is small with a Kitchen,Dining room and Bathroom on the ground floor,Lounge on the second floor and a Bedroom in the roof,plenty big enough for us.The cottage is in good decorative order with new kitchen units and a Rayburn cooker,all new skirting's,stairs & door frames.There are exposed stone walls with fireplaces in the Dining room & lounge.
At the back of the cottage is a small courtyard with a large tree and a garden shed in one corner ,the back gate opens onto Back road,with a Post office + small shop.At the top of the road there is a mini market & a General Store, and not forgetting the Murray Arms and the Cafe.
We made an offer two days later which was turned down,so increased our offer which was accepted, at the time of writing the sale is going through and should be ours by the end of March.
