Description
Freehold Building plot in stunning location over looking Wick Bay.
The land is the site of a former house- the house has been demolished.
The plot is offered without planning permission but the fact that a house previously stood on the plot is normally a positive indicator that planning permission will be attainable however no guarantees can be made by Braveheart Auctions.
The plot is serviced with utilities to the site or to the border of the site for straight-forward connection when required.
Amazing views offered from the site measured at approximately 203sqm (2,185sqft) in excellent location for access to the popular town centre and local amenities.
The site may offer potential for other uses. The location on the North Coast 500 creates a massive demand for short-term accommodation with tourists, particularly in the summer months, desperate for lodges, pods etc.
The North Coast 500 settlement of Wick is a town and Royal burgh in Caithness straddling the river Wick and Wick Bay. Wick has a resident population of approximately 7,000 making it the second largest town in the region- after Thurso.
The historic, rugged costal town of Wick enjoys a prominent position on the North Coast 500 route approximately 16 miles south of John O'Groats and enjoys a strong demand for short-term accommodation as a result.
Caithness covers a wide area in the far north east of the Highlands, it includes the towns of Wick and Thurso, two of the larger settlements in the Highlands. Less mountainous than the rest of the Highlands, the landscape of Caithness is made up of attractive rolling farm and moorland, and a long and impressive coastline.
This lot will be sold under auction terms and conditions by Braveheart Auctions.
