Rocklea offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase this historic house, built in 1883, situated in the heart of Lerwick. The property benefits from being connected to Lerwick’s District Heating Scheme. Located on the south end of Hillhead, it is within walking distance of local schools, including Bells Brae Primary School and Anderson High School. Nearby, you’ll find a variety of amenities such as local shops like Alex Morrison’s and Bolts Minimarket, as well as larger supermarkets, including Tesco and the Cooperative. The property is also just a short distance from Commercial Street, offering a range of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Spanning four floors, this spacious property requires modernisation but provides an excellent opportunity for buyers to create their ideal home in a house which has maintained many of it's traditional features.
The ground floor includes an entrance vestibule leading to a large hallway. The lounge is generously sized, featuring a large bay window and an additional gable-end window, allowing plenty of natural light. A small storage cupboard is located in the corner of the lounge. Also on this floor are a dining room, kitchen with wall and base units, a spacious bedroom, and a family bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, basin, and W.C.
On the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms, one with a bay window, plus two additional bedrooms and a small room ideal for a home office. The first floor is completed by a family bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, basin, and W.C.
The second floor, primarily used for storage in recent years, could be converted into two double bedrooms, each with Velux windows, and a further single bedroom, also with a Velux window. Additionally, there is a large room providing ample storage.
In the basement, you will find several more rooms, including a home office, snooker room, workshop, three storage rooms, a W.C., and a well-equipped utility room. There is also a large lean-to, previously used as a garage.
Outside, the low-maintenance front garden features a slabbed path leading from the gate to the front door, with additional steps down to a private paved patio area. At the back of the property, there is a grassy section of garden, adding to its overall appeal.
Early viewing is highly recommended.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
