1 bedroom flat in Stromness, Orkney Islands

Description

So, I’ve been looking at this flat in Stromness, Orkney Islands, and honestly, I’m not sure how it got listed in Wembley — it’s actually in the Orkney Islands, near the coast. I’m not selling it to a buyer, I’m just letting it go, so if anyone’s interested, here’s the rundown.

It’s a solid 1-bedroom flat with a clean, open-plan living area, a modern kitchen, and a double bedroom with built-in storage. The bathroom’s tidy, and the whole thing feels lived-in but not messy — just the way I like it.

One thing that stands out: it has its own designated parking space. That’s rare in places like Stromness, especially for flats, so it’s a real plus. There’s also a small private front garden — not huge, but good for a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

It’s a bit off the beaten path, but still accessible. The nearest town is Stromness, which has a few shops and services, and it’s not far from the main road. If you're into a quieter, more natural vibe with a bit of sea air, this could work.

I’ve seen offers up to £162,000 — that’s the number I’m thinking of, though I don’t have any control over it. I just wanted to share it in case anyone’s looking.

No testing done on any systems — pipes, heating, electricity, gas, water, broadband, phone — all of that’s up to you to check. I’ve not looked into the actual services, so don’t assume anything.

Council tax is Band C, ground rent’s about £100 a year, and service charge is around £1,670 annually. Utilities? All unknown. Heating’s not specified.

I’m not a real estate agent, so I’m just passing this along. If you’re actually interested, I can probably help with a quick chat or a look around. Just don’t expect fancy features — it’s not a luxury home, just a solid, practical place to live.

Hope it helps someone find something they like.
