These two generously sized potential building sites, each extending to approximately 1.26 acres, offer a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in a truly outstanding island setting. Both sites extend down to the mean low water mark, providing a strong connection to the surrounding coastal landscape and uninterrupted views across Mill Bay.
The sites previously benefitted from planning consent, now expired, for the construction of two traditional two-bedroom dwellings with detached garages, incorporating air source heating and solar panels. There was also former consent for a single four-bedroom dwelling, offering flexibility for future development, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions from the local authority.
The sites are available to purchase together or separately, making them suitable for a range of buyers, from individual self-builders to those considering a small-scale development.
Positioned to take full advantage of the elevated sea views, the sites enjoy a peaceful rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the island’s main village. The surrounding area offers a sense of space, privacy and natural beauty, making it an ideal location for those seeking a slower pace of life in harmony with nature.
Stronsay is renowned for its beautiful beaches, unspoilt coastline and strong community spirit. The island offers stunning scenery, with Mill Bay, St Catherine’s Bay and Rothiesholm Sand all close by.
The main village of Whitehall provides everyday amenities including a general store, hotel, café and heritage centre, while the island also benefits from a junior high school, a community hall, and a swimming pool.
Stronsay is well connected to mainland Orkney by both regular ferry services and flights, ensuring accessibility while retaining the charm and tranquillity of island life.
With its welcoming community, excellent local facilities and breathtaking natural surroundings, Stronsay offers an enviable lifestyle for those looking to build a home in a unique and peaceful location.
