Townhouse - Broad Street Gardens

This Broad Street Gardens townhouse apartment is full of light and character, with a striking double-height living room that rises to a vaulted ceiling, exposed wooden beams and a snug mezzanine reached by a ladder-style wooden stair. It sleeps six across three bedrooms with two bathrooms, plus parking and a hot tub among the extras.

Inside

The living room is the heart of it: two teal sofas and a mustard armchair around a geometric rug, a skylight pouring sun across the floor, a framed seascape on the wall and a TV in the corner, with that galleried mezzanine looking down over the room. The kitchen-diner is bright and practical, with cream Shaker units, an extractor over the hob, an integrated oven and a solid oak dining table seating six against patterned curtains and a window onto greenery.

Where you'll sleep

The three bedrooms are comfortable and well dressed. One double has an oak headboard, a pink throw, hummingbird cushions, a chest of drawers and a coastal print above the bed, with a sloped ceiling and curtained window. The bathroom is a real treat, finished in book-matched marble with a large walk-in rainfall shower, a navy vanity unit and a backlit mirror.

Step outside

Inside, the skylights and tall windows do the heavy lifting for light; the apartment looks out onto trees and garden greenery rather than the street.

The setting

Broad Street Gardens puts you in central Orkney, an easy walk from Kirkwall's cathedral, shops and harbour, with parking for days out across the islands.

Perfect for

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, room for six, a hot tub, wifi and a washer, it's ideal for a family or a group of friends who want space, charm and a central base.
