DESCRIPTION
The plot extends to approximately 0.69 acres and includes a solid stone steading with approximate internal area of 115m², built around 1887. The majority of the plot is flat with a small sloping area below the steading building. The steading benefits from a good level of natural light all year round and stunning views to the surrounding farm and moorland.

Access to the plot is via a single-track bridge over the river Fleet and along track towards the owners house which is beyond the plot.

The owner is currently applying for outline planning permission which embraces the use of local materials and the façade of the local Blarich School House. It may be possible to adjust the use of the site from that presented to The Highland Council’s Planning department, the buyers would need to satisfy themselves that the relevant planning consents could be granted.
