Description
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this excellent opportunity to purchase a former crofting cottage which has been partially converted within a short driving distance to Wick. This rural home is of stone and slate construction and is located off a quiet country road, with an outlook over the Scottish countryside. There is water to the site, and due to the owner moving away from the area, this character build is partially finished to wall plate height. As the property is in the early stages of renovation, the internal layout could be altered to suit the requirements of the new owner. Planning permission had previously been granted for a two-bedroom cottage; however, new planning would be required to bring it back up to planning standards. Occupying a generous plot, it is close to woodland, and there is a road already in place.
Accessed off the Camster Road, Alvaston Lodge is close to the village of Lybster where primary schooling, a doctors surgery, a village shop, as well as a 9 hole golf course can be found. It is also a short drive to the Cairns of Camster and Laidhay Tearooms. Nearby and within a thirty mile car journey to Wick, which is the second largest town in Caithness, a wide range of amenities can be found such as restaurants, coach and rail links, a hospital and supermarkets. Wick also benefits from having an airport, which offers flights throughout the U.K and Europe.
