Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Five Acres Of Croft Land
  • Scenic Views
  • Services Nearby
This attractive croft land, with panoramic views extends to just over five acres in size, and has a lot of potential. Situated in an idyllic location with stunning views over Hempriggs Loch.  The land holding has good grazing ground and would be suitable for those with equestrian interests, or someone who is interested in running a small croft with livestock.  We believe that as it is a registered croft, grants would be available towards a dwelling house, although all seriously interested parties would need to make their own enquiries with the crofters commission.  Alternatively, the land could be used for glamping pods or holiday lodges subject to planning consent, ideal for the NC500.  The site is located on the South side of Wick and has electric as well as water nearby.  Access is through a gated entrance just off the main A99 Wick to Inverness road.

Located just a short driving distance from the village of Thrumster, which has the Smiddy Inn and nursery and a school, the land is within close proximity to Wick.  

The Royal Burgh of Wick is the most northerly town on the East Coast of Caithness and is on the very popular North Coast 500 (NC500) tourist route. The town offers multiple stores such as Tescos, Boots, Superdrug, Pets at Home, Argos and B&M as well as banks and a post office. The house is within easy driving distance of all amenities, including the Hospital and Doctors Surgery. There are many leisure opportunities including a popular golf course, squash club and public swimming pool/gymnasium. The town also boasts an Airport with links to Aberdeen and Edinburgh and has good rail and coach services, as well as being close to ferry terminals with frequent daily services to Orkney.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    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
