Key information
Features and description
- 13 Acres Of Land
- Development Opportunity
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this quaint country cottage set in nearly 13 acres of land. Internally there is a lounge, a kitchen, a family bathroom and bedroom.
The cottage has been lived in by sheep, pigs and cattle, and is in need of total renovation. Subject to planning consent this is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to transform it into a larger family home. Due to its close proximity to the NC500 route, there is also an opportunity to run a small glamping business, and a caravan park, subject to the necessary consents..
The cottage is in a beautiful location surrounded by fields with woodland views. There is a track that runs down to the croft which has water and electricity on site. Drainage would be to a septic tank. The lower part of the plot is more pasture than the rougher hill grazing above.
The house site has relatively flat areas of ground around it, and has extensive views over the land. Additionally, there are level areas of land both above and below the track. Wildlife such as deer, foxes and birds of prey can frequently be seen in this area.
The property is located approximately one mile from the village of Lybster where there is a village store, a post office, a primary school, hotels as well as a village hall and bowling club. There is a popular nine hole golf club with coach links north and south. Lybster is approximately a twenty minute car journey away from Wick which is the second largest town in the county of Caithness. In Wick there is the Caithness General Hospital, the John O Groats Airport as well as a wide range of amenities and national stores..
