33 Liberator Drive, Kirkwall

33 Liberator Drive is a modern end-terrace bungalow on a newer development on the edge of Kirkwall, with a smart slate roof and a fenced front garden. The tarmac drive gives you parking right at the door, and the open setting means light and a sense of space all around.

Inside

The kitchen is a roomy, practical space with a black speckled worktop wrapping around two sides, wood-fronted units, a window over the sink dressed with patterned curtains, and a toaster and kettle ready to go — plenty of room to cook and move about.

Where you'll sleep

This is a two-bedroom home sleeping four. One bedroom has a double bed dressed in a smart green-and-cream check, a navy cushion, an upholstered headboard and a white bedside chest with a lamp, with fresh towels laid out. The second bedroom is a good size too, with a double bed, a white chest topped by a lamp, a small armchair in the corner and a window looking out over the neighbouring rooftops.

Step outside

The back garden is a real plus — a level lawn with a paved patio area, an outdoor table and chairs for sitting out, a rotary washing line and a timber storage shed for bikes or kit. It's an enclosed, family-friendly space to relax in after a day out.

The setting

You're on the residential fringe of Kirkwall here, so it's a short drive or walk into the heart of town. From this base the rest of Orkney is easy to reach — the cathedral and harbour in town, plus the West Mainland's standing stones, beaches and the airport for island day trips.

Perfect for

A family of four or two couples wanting a comfortable, low-fuss modern home with parking, a garden, wifi and a washer — and the enclosed garden makes it especially easy with children.
