Description
Build Your Dream Home... Or Your Next Highland Investment
Outstanding opportunity to acquire a FREEHOLD residential building plot with live planning permission in one of Wick's most desirable residential locations. With services available on site, planning permission in place and the world-famous North Coast 500 on the doorstep, this is a rare opportunity to create an exceptional family home or a high-quality holiday let.
Situated just off West Banks Avenue, this attractive building plot occupies a highly sought-after residential location within walking distance of Wick town centre, schools and local amenities.
The site benefits from live planning permission for a spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow (Highland Council Planning Reference 19/00455/FUL).
We are advised that a Notification of Initiation was lodged and building works commenced, ensuring the planning permission remains extant. A Building Warrant will be required before construction proceeds.
One of the major advantages of this site is that water, electricity, gas and drainage are understood to be available on site, significantly reducing the cost and complexity often associated with self-build projects.
The plot also benefits from an existing driveway providing generous off-road parking for several vehicles.
Located in the Royal Burgh of Wick, the property enjoys an enviable position on Scotland's internationally renowned North Coast 500. Every year, thousands of visitors travel this spectacular touring route, creating strong demand for quality holiday accommodation throughout the Highlands.
A newly constructed bungalow in this location could offer excellent potential as a holiday let or short-term rental investment, subject to all necessary consents and licensing requirements. Equally, it presents a fantastic opportunity to create a beautiful permanent family home in one of Caithness' most desirable residential areas.
The plot is within easy walking distance of Wick High School, Newton Park Primary School, supermarkets, cafés, leisure facilities and the town centre. Wick also offers excellent transport links, including rail services, Wick John O'Groats Airport and easy road access throughout the Highlands.
Residential building plots with live planning permission are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in established residential areas with excellent infrastructure already in place.
