Description
LOT 2- SANDSIDE HARBOUR
Sandside Harbour is a unique private stone harbour with a bothy and traditional net store built in circa 1830. The traditional category A listed stone harbour is distinctive and has immaculate stone-built harbour walls forming a simple basin as well as a slipway from which boats may be launched. The harbour is used on a grace and favour basis- by local small leisure boats and a few boats that are used for lobster and crab fishing.
The Net Store is also category A listed and is of traditional stone construction, set beneath a slate and metal sheet roof.
The Bothy Flat forms the upper floor of the Net Store building
located on the harbour edge and can be accessed from the west at first floor level. The building is currently unoccupied and will require extensive upgrading.
Note: part of the roof is in dangerous condition and access should not be taken internally to the Net Store or Bothy Flat.
Sandside is offered for sale as a whole or in two lots.
Location
Sandside is situated on the north coast of Scotland between John O’ Groats and Tongue about 12 miles to the west of Thurso.

The Northerly tip of the Scottish mainland is known for providing consistent and quality waves and the town of Thurso is a world-class destination for surfers.
Opportunities for coastal walks, hill walking and cycling are almost endless, and for golfers there is a fine mix of courses: Wick, Reay and Thurso, all 18 holes, and Lybster with 9 holes.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
