A stunning farm property with sea views and access to a beautiful unspoilt beach on one of Scotland's most picturesque islands has just gone up for sale. The farm of Backaskaill is found on the island of Sanday, the largest of Orkneys outer islands, in what's been described as a "dream location".

The sale features a "tastefully restored" three-bedroom farmhouse and converted two-bedroom cottage (with a conservatory) that can be found close to a spectacular sweeping sandy bay with spectacular views out to the North Sea.

Placed on the market for offers in the region of 1,350,000, the main building is currently being used as a popular luxury 5* holiday let, meaning there is the option to continue it as a successful business.

Orkney-based estate agent K Allan Properties, who are taking care of the sale, said: "The farmhouse provides a magnificent, luxury family home with the additional benefit of letting income potential. It has been tastefully restored and decorated to a very high standard with double-glazing throughout, in keeping with its character and heritage, by a professional interior designer."

They added that the farm building comes with two additional large rooms that are currently unused, and undergoing conversion into a cinema room and playroom but could easily become two further bedrooms.

As well as both the main building and the cottage, which currently links internally to the farmhouse but can be separated by internal doors on both sides, the property also comes with a number of outbuildings, formerly used by the farm.

Sanday is well known its stunning coastal scenery, long sandy beaches, abundant wildlife and peaceful lifestyle attract new residents and holidaymakers. It is increasingly popular with tourists and boasts a thriving economy.

The island benefits from high-quality shops, primary/secondary school, hotels, medical practice and a dynamic social community scene.

The B-listed farmhouse and steading built in the 19th century incorporates a former mill and character coach house tower.
