Details

Mearon is a charming and characterful two bedroom detached cottage set within approximately 1.53 acres in the picturesque parish of Birsay. Enjoying beautiful sea views and an idyllic rural setting, the property offers a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of local heritage sites and scenic coastal walks.

The cottage is warmly presented, featuring UPVC double-glazed windows and oil central heating. The bright and spacious living room, fitted with an oilfired stove on a slate hearth, creates a welcoming focal point for the home. The kitchen/diner provides ample space for a table and chairs and offers direct access to the conservatory, which is glazed on three sides and enjoys lovely views towards the Broch of Birsay—a perfect spot to relax and take in the surrounding landscape.
Accommodation also includes two double bedrooms, a shower room with WC, and a utility room.

Externally, Mearon benefits from a garage and several useful outbuildings, including a former cottage set within its own walled garden. This building may offer exciting potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The extensive grounds provide generous garden areas and plenty of space for hobby farming, gardening, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this sought-after location.
