Description

1,251sqm plot with planning permission previously granted on site for bespoke detached house in stunning location in the Scottish Highlands almost at the foot of Ben Nevis.

The build was not started so planning has now lapsed but the suggestion made to the auctioneer is that planning permission is likely to be granted for the correct property.

The site is located within a housing group and surrounded by high value properties.

Planning permission was originally granted back in 1990- this planning was renewed in 2014 and then refreshed again in 2016- this planning has now expired.

The site is largely flat and regularly shaped with the plot being easily accessible- the site has been measured at 13,466sqft.

The plot is located within an extremely affluent area with massive demand for residential property as well as demand for short-term accommodation (Bed and Breakfast or AirBNB).

Realistic completed development value of up to £900,000 based on local sales- with massive demand locally- a neighbouring property has recently ben valued at £1.4 million.

Recent sales at PH34 4EX:
PH34 4EX- May 2024- £622,500
PH34 4EX- Feb 2025- £605,000
PH34 4EX- June 2024- £475,000
PH34 4EX- March 2023- £660,000
PH34 4EX- March 2023- £605,000

The site is offered without planning permission and the auctioneer can offer no guarantees or advice on planning.

Unlike many areas within the Great Glen and surrounding Spean Bridge this plot is not affected by SSSi restrictions.

Planning application have been approved at this postcode recently- including for new properties to be built- giving additional weight to any planning application.

Set in one of Scotland's most popular outdoor locations- notorious for the shortage of short-term accommodation to meet the massive demand creating outstanding opportunity for development. Unrivalled location approximately 2 miles from the centre of the stunning Great Glen village of Spean Bridge with the 'outdoor capital of the UK'- Fort William within 7 miles via the A82 trunk road.

Spean Bridge is an attractive and well-equipped village in the Scottish Highlands. Also, home to a railway station on the West Highland Line to Fort William. Spean Bridge has a well-stocked shop, primary school, woollen mill, hotels, bars, cafe and restaurants and has road links to Inverness and Fort William by a regular bus service.
