Description
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this beautiful site with views towards Loch Watten in a tranquil, scenic location. Extending to approximately half an acre in size, this level plot is accessed through a shared road and has well established trees to one side which provide shelter. Wildlife roams the ground with roe deer, birds of prey and hare frequently seen within the generous plot. Planning would need to be applied for but we foresee no reason why it would not be granted and drainage would be by way of a septic tank.
With further service connections for electric and water close by, this is an excellent opportunity for someone to build their dream home in an area of outstanding natural beauty within a short commuting distance to the village of Watten.
Watten is approximately half way between Thurso and Wick and offers a convenience store as well as primary school education and hotel. Thurso is the most Northerly town in the county of Caithness and enjoys a cinema, gymnasium, as well as supermarkets, hotels and retail shops. Both Thurso and Wick have good coach and rail links with, Wick also benefitting from the John O Groats Airport and Caithness General Hospital. It also has a retail outlet and several nation chain store brands within the town centre as well as at the retail park.
