Turns out a friend of mine spent a fortnight there years ago, re-roofing the RSPB buildings. He said they slept on mattresses on the floor of a derelict farmhouse and when they blew the candles out, mice got into their sleeping bags. Plus the island is a pupping beach for seals and they were screaming throughout the night most nights. So he says he won't be buying it!Also what do you do if you become ill and need a doctor urgently? What do you do if you're out of loo roll? How do you get your post? Would Amazon deliver? What if there's a storm and you can't get off?
Sounds great in theory but I'd hate it in practice I think!
The trouble with these fancy period houses is that you end up having to live like you’re in an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice otherwise the decor makes the house look all wrong.I'm a sucker for a Georgian house and I love the rear elevation of this one with the two rounded sections, but it's the grounds that do it for me here.

So, to totally speculate about the owners I’ve spotted 5-6 statues of naked men and two signs for pork sausages in the kitchenmy real question is tho, are those urns and why is there so many of them?!

Oh my god. Does this mean these are future goldmines or future unliveable unsellable nightmares I wonder. Oh my god, well, I guess that's the end of my dream of opening an artists residency space on Unst...Unst has a spaceport being built on it, so just be careful which end you buy!
SaxaVord - The Place for Space
Located in Unst, Shetland, and one of only two such facilities in Europe, it has the capacity to carry out 60% of orbital launches from the continent. Oursaxavord.com
Edit: Yes, Haroldswick is pretty close to it. Think the spaceport is the headland just north of the radar head I've highlighted.
