Description
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this beautiful plot in the village of Castletown. Rarely available, this lovely site originally had three cottages built on the land. With rural views to the rear, and a stream running across the bottom of the plot, there is also a dry-stone dyke. Both electricity and drainage are also close by. Extending to 0.075 hectares, this level plot would be ideal for two detached dwellings or a single home or a terraced development.
Although there is no planning currently on the site, it is in an area zoned for housing so we do not foresee any reason why planning would not be granted.
The plot is within a few minutes' walk to Castletown Primary School and is located in the heart of the village.
Castletown hosts a variety of amenities and has a convenience store, a hairdressers, butcher shop, chip shop and takeaway. The local hotel also sells food and the site is also close to the village harbour. Just an 8-minute drive to Thurso and twelve miles to Wick, the village has a lot to offer. Further facilities can be found in the two main towns such as supermarkets, swimming pools, cages as well as gymnasiums. The Caithness General Hospital is in Wick as well as the John O Groats Airport.
