Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this beautiful country croft which is located in an elevated position. With panoramic views over the North Sea and surrounding countryside, this charming single storey dwelling which comes with 5 acres of land has a lot to offer. The charming cottage is of stone and slate construction and is divided in to several rooms internally. Once planning consent is granted this unique property would make a truly stunning home. Alternatively, it could be demolished and a bespoke designed executive home could be built on the site. With electric and water connected, this charming property is accessed via a gravel track which leads to a gated entrance. The Croft register number is CO346 and the land boundary also benefits from stock proof fencing.

Located in the village of Lybster where there is a primary school, a nine-hole golf course as well as hotels, a post office, a convenience store and bowling green. Secondary education can be found in Wick which is a twenty-minute car journey away as well as further facilities such as supermarkets, a leisure complex with a swimming pool, a retail park with national chain stores as well as local retail outlets. There are also good coach and rail links north and south. Wick also benefits from having the John O Groats Airport which offers flights throughout the UK and to the Orkney Islands.
