 There is vehicular and pedestrian access rights leading down the South East side of the croft to the house.   There is also a gate at the bottom of the access track which provides access to the foreshore.  

The main amenities on Yell are to be found at Mid Yell which is approx. 7 miles south of Sellafirth where there is a Junior High School, Leisure Centre/Swimming Pool, Medical Central, Care Centre and close by the property is a small business park.  The village of Cullivoe is situated to the North East of the Island, near Bluemull Sound and is approx.  5 miles from the property where there is a local shop, Primary School, Galley Shed and the Village Hall. 

Yell is connected to mainland Shetland by a regular subsidised ro-ro ferry service (crossing time approximately 20 minutes) which runs throughout the day from the terminal at Ulsta about 15 miles from the house, to Toft about 10 minutes from Brae & Sullom Voe and about 27 miles from Lerwick.
