Property description & features

  • 3/4 of an acre
  • Good location
  • Outstanding sea views
  • Planning in principle
  • Services nearby
  • Possible tourism business opportunity
This superb site which extends to three quarters of an acre in the village of Portskerra.  Rarely available with such outstanding coastal views, this plot is fully enclosed and has services close by.

Accessed of a tarmac road at the top of Bayview Avenue, this plot sits in an elevated position and gives breathaking views towards Portskerra Bay.

Planning in principle (22/02533/PIP) is in place for a single dwelling house, connected to the mains sewer.

Located right on the popular North Coast 500 route, there is also the scope to use this site to take advantage of the increase in tourism the NC500 has brought to the area and create a caravan site, aire or glamping business (subject to the appropriate planning permission).

Within Portskerra and close to the site are a convenience store, as well as a post office.  Melvich has its own  hotel and primary school which are within a short walking distance of the plot.  Farr High School, which offers secondary education, is located nearby in Bettyhill which benefits from a cafe, swimming pools and a hotel, as well as further amenities. 

Ideally located not far from the main NC500 tourist route, this splendid site  is approximately seventeen miles East of the town of Thurso, which has facilities such as supermarkets, a cinema, post office, a medical practice and chemists. Thurso is the most Northerly town in Scotland and benefits from having good coach and rail links South. There is an airport and a hospital in Wick which is a twenty-minute driving distance from Thurso.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 9, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
