Ferndale is an attractive double-fronted detached family home offering almost 2,200 sq ft of light-filled, sensitively-extended accommodation arranged over two floors.

The accommodation flows from a conservatory-style entrance porch into a welcoming reception hall with useful storage and a family bathroom. The layout includes a generous front-aspect principal bedroom and a sitting room alongside a spacious rear-aspect kitchen/breakfast room. This kitchen offers a range of solid oak wall and base units, marble work surfaces, integrated appliances, and numerous sky lanterns that flood the space with natural light. The breakfast area has space for a good-sized table and opens via a door to a dining room with feature tiled flooring, large picture windows overlooking the rear garden, and a door leading to the rear terrace. From the kitchen, a door opens into a single-storey extension that includes an inner hall, a well-proportioned rear-aspect study/bedroom with garden views, and a well-appointed utility room featuring boot-room style hanging and shoe storage, fitted units and an inset sink, and side-access door. The extension also contains a front-aspect double bedroom and a shower room/cloakroom.

An elegant staircase with feature decorative spindles rises from the reception hall to the part-vaulted first floor which leads to two further bedrooms, both with stunning views over the coastline toward the neighbouring island of Shapinsay. There is also a contemporary shower room.

Set on the coastal road behind low-level stone walling and screened by mature trees, the property is approached through twin stone pillars onto a gravelled driveway and forecourt providing plenty of parking. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and features an external store adjoining the kitchen/breakfast room, suitable for various uses. There is also a gravelled rear terrace ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, fully screened by mature shrubs and trees and backing onto beautiful and public gardens.

There is also a detached garage with lapsed planning permission for an annex/self-contained unit, planning ref: 14/406/PP. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries on planning matters with Orkney Islands Council.
