In More Detail

This stone built, detached dwellinghouse house has character and much potential.   Many years ago, the house hosted the village Post Office which was located in the Sitting Room.  A large walled garden fronts the property which includes the foreshore to the lowest ebb of Vidlin Voe. 

Externally, there is a large shed with corrugated asbestos roof in need of some repair. 

Vidlin is an attractive village that wraps around the head of Vidlin Voe, with local amenities including local Shop, Primary School, Village Hall and Marina. Nearby Lunna House is rich in history.  It was the headquarters of the Norwegian resistance movement during the Second Word War.  It looks down on the old Kirk of Lunna, one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Shetland.
