Fancy picking up a place by the sea on the cheap? After a drastic price drop, this four-bed coastal home is a total steal and best of all, it's in a village called Lady!

If you're longing to escape the rat race and relocate to your own oceanside oasis, then this pretty countryside cottage by the beach could be for you.

Nestled in the scenic village of Lady on the Isle of Sanday in Orkney, this characterful bungalow would also make an ideal holiday let.

The good news is, there’s never been a better time to make an offer as the asking price was just slashed in half to a very reasonable £45,000. With homes in the area currently selling for an average of £155,817, why is this listing so incredibly cheap?

Well, a quick look at the advert and it’s clear that this property requires some TLC. The semi-detached cottage on one of Orkney’s outer northern isles is in desperate need of renovation and the basic interior is more than a little lacklustre.

However, for those looking for a project, this tired home could be a dream property in the making. Accommodation is arranged over one floor and includes four bedrooms, a family bathroom, a large living/dining room, kitchen and a spacious walk-in larder.

There’s no doubt that with a little imagination, a lick of paint and a kitchen and bathroom refit, this could be the perfect seaside retreat for a family.

In addition to the interiors, you'll find a small garden at the front of the property, while to the side there’s vacant land that could accommodate several vehicles.

Enjoying fantastic views over the surrounding countryside and ocean, the bungalow is ideally located close to the area's beautiful beaches. Local amenities include Sanday Airport, a secondary school, general stores, hotels and even a nine-hole golf course.

If you're up to the task, take a look at the listing with Auction House Scotland.
