Allendale Croft sits on the island of Eday in Orkney, where open land meets sea and the horizon stretches out towards neighbouring isles.

From its elevated position, the property looks across the water towards the Calf of Eday and Sanday, with views that shift constantly with light and weather.

Eday is one of Orkney’s outer isles, where daily life is shaped by community, coastline and a steady connection to the land and sea.

This five bedroom detached bungalow offers generous space both inside and out, set within enclosed garden grounds that give a sense of privacy without isolation.

The house is arranged across a single level, creating a layout that is both practical and easy to live in.

At the centre of the home, the living room and dining space form a large and open area, with multiple windows and patio doors leading out to a decked balcony.

From here, the sea views become part of the everyday experience, drawing light deep into the room and opening the house out towards the landscape.

The kitchen and dining area sit alongside, fitted with modern units and a gas range cooker, offering a functional and well proportioned space for cooking and gathering.

A separate utility room supports the running of the home, with additional storage and access through to a sun porch that connects the interior with the garden.

Five bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including a principal bedroom with en suite and built in wardrobes.

The remaining rooms can be used for family, guests or workspace, depending on how the property is lived in.

The bathroom is well sized and includes a corner bath, adding a more relaxed element to the practical layout.

Outside, the grounds extend around the house with lawn, patio, pond and decked areas, creating spaces to sit, grow or simply take in the surrounding views.

Additional outbuildings include a garage, sheds and a potting shed, offering scope for storage, hobbies or small scale growing.

Solar panels contribute to heating the domestic hot water, alongside oil fired central heating and double glazing, giving the property a solid and efficient foundation.

Despite its island setting, Eday remains well connected, with regular ferry services and flights linking to Orkney mainland, alongside a local shop, primary school and healthcare facilities.

For those seeking space, outlook and a different pace of life, Allendale Croft offers a substantial home in a setting that feels both open and grounded.

The property is being marketed by Lows, with full details, photographs and viewing information available through the official listing.
