24 Old Scapa Road

A bright, freshly fitted ground-floor flat on Old Scapa Road, this is an easy ten-minute stroll into the heart of Kirkwall yet tucked far enough back to be quiet. Everything inside has been done recently and done well, with warm wood-effect flooring running through, and there's parking on site so you can come and go as you please.

Inside

The sitting room is the heart of the flat, a grey sofa dressed with mustard and check cushions, a soft yellow rug, and a coastal canvas on the wall that nods to where you are. It's a calm, cheerful space to unwind in. Off the hallway, the kitchen is properly modern, glossy white units, an induction hob, oven, toaster and kettle, with a window over the sink that keeps it light while you cook.

Where you'll sleep

Two bedrooms sleep up to four. The double is fresh and uncluttered, with crisp linen and soft towels laid out ready. The shower room is sparkling, with a roomy enclosure, vanity basin and mirror. A washing machine is on hand for longer stays.

The setting

Old Scapa Road is one of the best-placed addresses for car-free days. You can walk into the centre of Kirkwall in minutes, where St Magnus Cathedral, the harbour, restaurants and shops are all on your doorstep, then drive out to the wider Mainland whenever you fancy.

Perfect for

Couples or a small family up to four who want a modern, spotless flat within walking distance of town, with parking and laundry to make a longer stay simple.
