A ONE-BED ‘beautiful sea view cottage’ has gone on sale for £70,000 – but it’s a fixer upper and its minimal furnishing dates back to the 60s.
The 2150m² detached property includes a garage, traditional outbuildings and a large garden.

And the 3.2 acres land which separates it to the shore is available by separation negotiation with a guide price of £12,000.
The cottage is being touted as a property which ‘requires attention’ but the garage is full of old furniture, DIY utensils and buckets of paint for whoever is ready to take on the challenge.
The £70k listing is situated on North Ronaldsay, in Orkney.
And the area in the most northerly island is known for its historic lighthouse, migratory bird life and unusual breed of sheep which feeds off of seaweed.
The North Ronaldsay sheep live on the seashore most of the year around and are only brought onto the better land for lambing season.
The ‘beautiful sea view’ cottage is currently being listed on Rightmove as available for online viewing only.

But it is an opportunity for people who wish to reconnect with nature, leave their urban life behind and start from scratch.
Ferries and scheduled air services are the only links to the Orkney mainland.
The cottage offers one bedroom and a bathroom with a tiled bathtub and electric fan heater.
The kitchen opens into the hall and includes a fitted base, wall cupboards, and built-in shelved cupboards.
While the living room’s central piece is a vintage oil fired Rayburn range where the future owners could warm up a hot cup of tea as winter colder evenings approach.
