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!
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!

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.

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.

Yes! I always look at them longingly and then think "it's not going to look the same with all my Ikea tit"

There's a few cottages/houses in Unst going. They need total renovation of course and I don't think I'd be capable, but I so so so so so wish I was:

Unst has a spaceport being built on it, so just be careful which end you buy!


Edit: Yes, Haroldswick is pretty close to it. Think the spaceport is the headland just north of the radar head I've highlighted.

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...

Definitely something off about that house, gives me the creeps. The initials on the gates are no good either unless your name is MM as well 😂

Also did anyone else spot this in the listing? Am now intrigued as to what the planning issue is?!

The property has been served with a planning Enforcement Notice effective from 6th July 2023. A copy of the notice is available upon request.

Usually you can find planning enforcement notices on the local council's planning portal, but there's absolutely nothing listed for Epworth. Strange.
 
Anyone fancy a converted Coastguard station? Not much of a beach at Helmsdale would be my only quibble.

Wow, that's a beauty, and you could move in without so much as opening a tin of paint. You find some real gems!

Love all of that, especially the beautiful light, apart from the double bed in the middle of one room with the door opening behind (picky, I know!)
