1 bed detached house for sale

King Street, Kirkwall KW15

10 King Street is a Category B Listed building situated within the Conservation Area in the heart of Kirkwall town centre. Planning consent was granted in May 2024 for change of use from a dental practice to a boarding house (Class 7), involving the creation of eight en-suite studio bedrooms, together with the installation of replacement windows, doors, rainwater goods, roof lights and air source heat pumps.
This detached former dental clinic spans two storeys and includes two large attic rooms accessible by a loft ladder. The original building dates back to the late 1800s, with the rear extension and full conversion to a clinic estimated to have occurred between the late 1960s and early 1970s. The proposed renovations aim to breathe new life into this historic building.
