15 Queen Elizabeth Way, Kirkwall

15 Queen Elizabeth Way is a modern terraced home on a tidy newer development, its white render and grey-trimmed windows fronting a neat paved courtyard with a Juliet balcony above the door. It sleeps four across two bedrooms with two bathrooms, has its own parking and a hot tub listed among the extras.

Inside

The home is fresh and contemporary throughout. The dining area sits by the foot of an open wooden staircase, with a light oak table, orange chairs and a bowl of fruit set out, the kitchen close at hand. It's a bright, easy space to gather over breakfast before a day out.

Where you'll sleep

Two bedrooms are made up with crisp white linen and rolled towels. The main bedroom looks out through a glazed door with a small balcony over open fields, and has a wall-mounted TV, a chest of drawers and a framed Orkney hills print. There are two bathrooms here: a ground-floor cloakroom with a basin and WC and a cheerful sea-turtle print, plus a bathroom upstairs with a bath and an over-bath shower behind a glass screen.

Step outside

The front gives onto a private paved courtyard, and from the upstairs window the view runs straight out over grass and fields to the edge of town.

The setting

You're on a quiet modern street within easy reach of central Orkney life, with your own parking for trips further afield. It's a calm, practical base on the edge of Kirkwall.

Perfect for

Sleeping four in two bedrooms with two bathrooms, a hot tub, wifi, a washer and a TV, it suits a family or two couples who want a comfortable, low-fuss modern home with room to spread out.
