Overview
Conveniently situated in the centre of town within walking distance of
Commercial Street, North Ness Business Park & Mareel cinema / music venue, the
Toll Clock and Co - op, 17c Market Street is a one bedroom top floor flat
forming part of a detached building housing three flats, one on each floor.
In addition to the double bedroom, the double glazed accommodation also
includes a good - sized living / dining room, kitchen and shower room. A walk - in
cupboard off the bedroom provides plenty of storage space, whilst externally
there is a shared back garden / drying green.
Both the living room and the bedroom have dormer windows overlooking Market
Street and enjoying views across to Bressay.
The white goods are included in the sale. The other furniture and contents are
available by separate negotiation.
Accommodation
Access is via the main door to the front of the building which opens to a
stair shared with the flat on the first floor, a second door on the first
floor opening to the stair to Flat C which leads up to a carpeted landing with
doors to the living / dining room and shower room to the left, and archway to
the kitchen to the right. A hatch provides access to the loft space. Note the
entrance door to the flat at first floor level would likely not meet modern
fire safety regulations and upgrading is reccommended.
The living / dining room has a bay window to the front of the building
overlooking Market Street with views over the surrounding properties across to
Bressay, and north to the harbour approach in the distance. There is plenty of
space for both living and dining areas and engineered wood flooring is laid
throughout. Several cupboards provide storage space in the eaves whilst
lighting is provided by a centre light and two matching wall lights.
The shower room which is lit by a Velux window comprises a shower enclosure
with electric shower plus a WC and wash hand basin set in a fitted unit which
provides handy storage space and also conceals the toilet cistern. Heating is
provided by a heated towel rail and tile effect vinyl is laid to the floor.
The kitchen, also lit by a Velux window, has fitted floor and wall units also
including an inset sink with an instantaneous hot water supply and plumbing
for a washing machine which is included in the sale along with the
freestanding electric cooker, fridge and freezer. Slate tile effect vinyl is
laid to the floor and a ceiling mounted spotlight fitting provides artificial
light.
A door from the kitchen opens to the carpeted double bedroom which like the
living room also has an east - facing bay window with views across to Bressay.
The room is attractively finished with a pine dado rail and a large walk - in
cupboard concealed behind louvre doors which provides hanging and shelf space
for clothes with additional general storage in the eaves. There is further
eaves storage either side of the bay window.
