Albany House, 50 St. Olaf Street, Lerwick, Shetland, Ze1 0En

Occupying a highly sought-after position on St Olaf Street in the centre of Lerwick, this exceptionally substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable scale, with extensive accommodation, generous garden grounds and tremendous potential for further improvement.

The sheer size of the property is immediately apparent. Arranged over multiple levels and offering an impressive amount of living accommodation, the house provides six generously proportioned bedrooms, two substantial reception rooms and three bathrooms, together with a range of ancillary spaces. Homes offering this level of accommodation in such a convenient central Lerwick location are seldom available to the market.

The property offers enormous flexibility for family life. The two spacious reception rooms provide excellent areas for both everyday living and entertaining, while the six bedrooms create ample accommodation for a large or growing family. The scale of the house also allows individual rooms to be readily adapted for alternative uses, including home offices, dressing rooms, playrooms, hobby spaces or a home gym.

While perfectly capable of being occupied in its present form, the property offers outstanding scope for modernisation and upgrading. For purchasers looking for a home they can truly make their own, this is where 50 St Olaf Street becomes particularly exciting. Its substantial footprint provides an excellent foundation from which to create a striking contemporary family residence, with considerable opportunity to improve the accommodation, introduce a new interior specification and potentially add significant value.

Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's finished design, the successful purchaser has the opportunity to put their own stamp on a genuinely substantial Lerwick property, choosing the kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and overall style to suit their own tastes and requirements.

Externally, the property is complemented by generous garden grounds, further enhancing the sense of space and providing valuable outdoor amenity rarely associated with such a central location.

The position is another major attraction. St Olaf Street is one of Lerwick's established and sought-after residential areas, combining a central setting with the convenience of having the town's amenities within easy reach. Schools, shops, leisure facilities and Lerwick town centre are all readily accessible, making this an exceptionally practical location for family living.

Albany House is a property where the scale and possibilities really need to be experienced in person. With six bedrooms, extensive living accommodation, generous gardens and substantial scope to enhance and add value, it presents an increasingly rare opportunity to create an outstanding long-term family home in the heart of Lerwick.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional proportions, central location and exciting potential this substantial property has to offer.
