K Allan Properties are delighted to present this spectacular building plot at the Bay of Skaill in the historic Parish of Sandwick.
This beautiful plot has planning permission in place for an architect designed 3 bed dwelling, designed by award winning architect Mary Arnold Forster. See Orkney Islands Council planning reference 24/067/PP.
Mary Arnold-Forster Architects (MAFA) is a Highland architecture studio working across rural locations throughout Scotland and the UK. It was formed by Mary in 2016 to create quiet, humane, restrained and beautifully crafted places and spaces based on a rigorous study of site, context, landscape and brief to try to create a backdrop for people’s work, their art and lives.
The building warrant application has been submitted for this property and is awaiting approval, reference 25/008. A building start date has been agreed with a local contractor for January 2026. Full cost plans for this project are available on request.
This is a rare opportunity to build a home with easy access to Skaill beach, close to the Skara Brae world heritage site.
