Description

South Linkataing offers a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional two bedroom farmhouse set within an expansive 22.56 acres or thereby of crofted land, complete with foreshore rights and a substantial range of outbuildings. Positioned on the western side of Eday, the property enjoys magnificent, far reaching sea views and a sense of tranquillity that defines the island’s rural character.
The land itself extends to 22.56 acres or thereby of crofted ground, lying predominantly to the south and west of the property. It comprises a mix of grazing land and natural terrain, bordered by traditional stone dykes and open fields. The inclusion of foreshore adds to the appeal, providing direct access to the coastline and enhancing the property’s connection to its unique island setting.

The farmhouse provides well proportioned accommodation with charming traditional features and excellent scope for modernisation. The living room is a generous and welcoming space. A bottled gas fuelled feature fire set against an exposed stone wall adds warmth and a touch of heritage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern cabinets and includes an integrated oven, hob and extractor, with a window overlooking the surrounding land.
Two double bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation, one of which benefits from a built in wardrobe. The shower room is efficiently arranged and fitted with a corner shower, WC and vanity storage.
Surrounding the farmhouse is an extensive collection of outbuildings, each offering significant versatility. These include traditional stone structures suited to workshops, storage or livestock housing, along with a large steel framed agricultural shed ideal for machinery or equipment. Together, the buildings offer a wealth of opportunities for agricultural use, diversification projects or lifestyle ventures.
