Property description & features

  • Outstanding Views
  • Septic Tank In Place
  • Services Close By
  • Planning Applied For
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this superb plot which is located in Stemster with outstanding views of the Scottish countryside.  This most attractive site was formerly the children's playground for the village school which has now been transformed into a family home. The former schoolhouse is located beside the enclosed housing plot. The plot is fully enclosed and has a dry-stone dyke wall as well as fencing.  Mature birch trees are planted in the site which adds character to this beautiful plot.

Occupying 0.4 acres of land, the site is level, and has outline planning applied, for a contemporary modern bungalow with an attractive stone and wooden facade. There is already a fully function septic tank in place in the paddock boundary for the new build, which is shared with the schoolhouse and all services are very nearby. When built the internal accommodation which is 141m2 will comprise of a large kitchen/family room with a large picture window.  The lounge will be of good proportions and has three full height windows to the front elevation which will make this room a bright living space.  The master bedroom will have an en suite shower room as well as fitted wardrobes.  The other two bedrooms are both double bedrooms and also benefit from built in wardrobes. The family bathroom will be equipped with a bath as well as a shower and there is also a utility room.  There are also ample built-in cupboards which will meet the needs of a growing family.  The house has been designed by Craigie Joinery who can also help facilitate the build. 

The area surrounding the plot is a haven of wildlife with deer, hare and birds of prey frequently roaming around. 

Located just off the main road to the village of Gillock, the plot is approximately 9 miles to the town of Thurso.  Thurso is the largest town in the county of Caithness and has many local amenities such as a swimming pool, cinema, supermarkets and restaurants.  Halkirk is approximately 5 miles from the village of Gillock and has a primary school, a convenience store, a takeaway and hotels.  It is also a popular fishing and equestrian destination with good coach and rail links. There is a hospital in Wick which is approximately a 20-minute car journey away as well as the John O'Groat Airport which offers flights throughout the UK.
