Description

An attractive croft extending to approximately 1.44 acres, enjoying a desirable elevated position in the picturesque coastal village of Helmsdale.

Description - An exceptional opportunity to acquire an attractive croft, which extends to approximately 1.44 acres and occupies a desirable elevated position within the picturesque coastal village of Helmsdale. Sited here is an existing, derelict croft house together with lapsed planning permission and building warrant for the construction of a detached dwelling on a parcel of de-crofted land. Please note, under no circumstances should any attempt be made to enter the property at any time. The plans provide for a single-storey three bedroomed home, offering purchasers the opportunity to create a bespoke Highland residence. The existing croft house also presents an exciting renovation or redevelopment opportunity, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Strictly under no circumstances should any attempt be made to enter the property at any time. The land enjoys a particularly attractive setting, to the front, extending from Strath Road and continuing down towards the River Helmsdale, providing a wonderful natural backdrop and an appealing sense of space and privacy, and to the rear, there is land which has further scope for development, or paddock use. Considerable preparatory work has already been undertaken, with services on site. Topographical survey and ground drainage testing completed in connection with the proposed development. There are also proposals for further enhancements, including a garage, and potential renewable energy installations, offering the opportunity to create an environmentally conscious home. Situated within easy reach of Helmsdale’s local amenities and transport links, the property enjoys an excellent position in this popular Highland village, renowned for its stunning coastline, surrounding countryside and access to the North Coast 500. Whether you are looking to build your dream Highland home, undertake a renovation project or explore the potential of a unique crofting opportunity, 92 Strath Road offers an exciting prospect with considerable possibilities. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, setting and potential on offer.
