Gransetter sits in Tankerness on Orkney’s Mainland, set within open countryside where fields roll gently towards the Deer Sound and the horizon feels wide and uninterrupted.
From the approach the house appears modest, yet the setting immediately defines it, with panoramic views stretching across farmland and water in every direction.
The bungalow itself is deceptively spacious, arranged around a central hall that leads naturally into a bright living room framed by four windows.
Light moves easily through this space, and an open fire provides a focal point that anchors the room against the sweep of landscape beyond the glass.
The kitchen and dining area sit together as the working heart of the home, offering enough space for family meals while remaining connected to the practicalities of daily life.
A separate utility room adds welcome function, keeping outdoor boots and coats from spilling into the main living areas after time spent in the fields.
Three bedrooms are arranged off the hallway, each straightforward and well proportioned, offering flexibility for family, guests or workspace.
The wet room style shower room completes the internal accommodation, designed with ease of use in mind rather than ornament.
Heating is provided by an air source system alongside electric panel heaters, and UPVC double glazing runs throughout, giving the house a solid and efficient foundation.
Outside is where Gransetter truly expands, sitting within approximately 9.6 acres that include the three surrounding fields offered as part of the sale.
The garden grounds wrap around the bungalow, with a private driveway leading to a garage and a substantial outbuilding that lends itself to storage, workshop use or small scale enterprise.
The additional shed extends the sense of possibility, whether for equipment, hobby space or agricultural support.
Despite its rural character, the property is only around ten minutes by car from Kirkwall, placing shops, schooling and services within easy reach while preserving the quiet of the countryside.
The nearby Sheila Fleet Kirk Café adds a small but welcome note of community within walking distance, a reminder that rural living need not feel isolated.
Gransetter represents a home where land and outlook are as significant as the walls themselves, offering scope for grazing, small scale farming or simply space to breathe.
This is a property defined by its setting, where sky, sea and field meet, and where the rhythm of life follows weather and season rather than clock and traffic.
The property is being marketed by Lows, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
