A truly rare opportunity to purchase this 19th century B listed

disused grain mill located on the island of Shapinsay not far from

the ferry terminal and overlooking Elwick Bay and Balfour Castle.

Elwick Mill was built in 1893 and was once the largest water powered

grinding mill in Orkney.

The mill occupies a large site with a drive leading to a parking area,

a sheltered area with kilns and up to the mill with a workshop to the

side, a large garden to the rear and a static caravan.

The property requires renovation throughout.

Some of the working parts of the mill are still in tact and still work

including the water wheel.

There was previous planning in place for conversion however this

has since expired.

Split over three floors the rooms are spacious and offer potential

to convert to a dwelling or perhaps a gallery or self catering

accommodation with the appropriate consents from the local

council.
