Land & Ruins Of Leaquoy, Stronsay
- Land size
- 7 acres
Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire approximately 7 acres of land on the beautiful island of Stronsay. The property, known as Leaquoy, includes a former house and outbuilding, both currently in a ruinous condition, along with a large field ideal for grazing.
Set in a peaceful, rural location, the land enjoys elevated, far-reaching views across the Bay of Holland and the surrounding countryside, offering a stunning natural backdrop and a real sense of island tranquility.
With stock-proof fencing and traditional drystone walls to parts of the boundary, this site may offer potential for redevelopment of the former house, subject to the appropriate planning consents being obtained from the local authority.
Leaquoy is situated on the island of Stronsay which is one of Orkney’s outer north isles. Stronsay has stunning scenery including beaches at St Catherine’s Bay, Mill Bay and Rothiesholm Sand and beautiful coastal walks. The village of Whitehall has a general store, hotel, café and heritage centre. The island has a junior high school that offers education from nursery up through to 4th year of secondary school, a community hall and a swimming pool. Stronsay is connected to Orkney mainland by ferry and plane.
