Summerdale Kirkwall

Summerdale is a roomy end-of-terrace house on a quiet residential street in Kirkwall, set back behind a flight of steps with a mature tree and shrubs framing the entrance. It's a practical, comfortable family home, freshly maintained inside, and ideally placed for getting into town on foot.

Inside

The kitchen-diner is the social hub, a long galley run of cream units with wood-effect worktops, an integrated dishwasher, oven, microwave, washing machine and a fridge freezer, plus a breakfast bar with stools for casual meals. A glazed door at the far end opens to the back, keeping the space bright. A welcoming hallway with a coat rack, bench and a 'welcome' sign sets a homely tone as you come in.

Where you'll sleep

With two bedrooms, the house sleeps four. There are two shower rooms here, a real bonus for a busy family, one with a sleek curved corner shower and patterned tiled floor, the other with a shower, basin and WC, both kept clean and modern.

Step outside

The property sits above the road behind its own steps and wall, with shrubs and a garden area to the side, a green outdoor space to call your own within easy reach of the town.

The setting

You're well placed in Orkney's capital, Kirkwall, with St Magnus Cathedral, the shops, the harbour and the ferry terminals all within reach. Leave the car and walk into the centre, or use the house as a comfortable base for day trips out across the islands.

Perfect for

A family of four wanting space and two bathrooms, with parking, a garden, wifi and a hot tub close to the heart of town.
