Description
This lovely residential building plot is located in the small hamlet of Balblair on the Black Isle.
The plot measures approximately 490 square meters and is located 20M NW Of Ferry House, Balblair. All services are adjacent to the plot, including space in the communal 30PE septic tank.
Full Outline Planning Permission for a HEB 1 1/2 storey detached house with garage was granted back in February 2022. This application 21/05250/FUL has now expired but new outline planning has been granted 25/03573/PIP and can be viewed on The Highland Councils website - see link. There has also been a soil report carried out which can be requested if required.
It is a sheltered spot but is bright and open with neighbouring properties, and is currently laid to grass. The original outline planning was submitted with the idea of the living room being upstairs to take advantage of the sea views to the north and east.
Viewing is highly recommended for this piece of land.
Location
The small hamlet of Balblair is located on the North east penisula of The Black Isle, and the plot is situated within the hamlet. The village of Culbokie is approx 8 miles away, which boasts a Post Office, general store and a pub/restaurant, and Cromarty is only 7 miles away. Inverness the capital of the Highlands is 20 miles away, and the market town of Dingwall is 13 miles away. The service buses pass Balblair going to Dingwall or across to Fortrose, and local schooling is available at the Primary School in Cullicudden, and transport is provided to Fortrose Academy for Secondary schooling.
Access
The plot is accessed by a private hardcore road which has already been laid and is shared by the neighbouring properties, and there are no restriction on its usage, such as holiday accommodation.
