Overview
Madras Villa is a three-bedroom, traditionally styled home on Bignold Park Road in the heart of Kirkwall, completely refurbished in 2024. The spacious ground floor features two separate sitting rooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a generous dining area, giving everyone plenty of room to spread out, cook and socialise together.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer ample storage and a restful night’s sleep.
