Description
Castlehill Steading and development site
consists of a range of traditional buildings
with an area of arable land immediately
adjacent, extending to approximately 6.67
acres (2.7 hectares).
Castlehill benefits from planning permission
for conversion of the steading buildings
and the erection of additional residential
and commercial units. Castlehill lies directly
north of the village of Castletown, within
the county of Caithness, an area famed for
beautiful coastlines and open countryside,
and along the hugely popular North Coast
500 route.
Castlehill Steading and Development Site is
located approximately 0.5 miles north of the
village of Castletown. The property lies just
5.5 miles east from the town of Thurso and 16
miles west of the town of Wick. Castletown
sits on the local bus route between Thurso
and Wick, where there are train stations
providing rail links south. Scrabster Harbour
lies approximately 7.4 miles to the west of
Castlehill offering ferry connections to the
Orkney Isles, while the city of Inverness is
located 112 miles or thereby south.
