Large plot with development or agricultural potential
An 820m² freehold plot on the outskirts of Kirkwall offering wide countryside views to the rear. The site sits in a quiet, lightly developed setting a short drive or walk from the town centre, making it convenient for local services while retaining rural peace.
The land may be suitable for a dwellinghouse, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. There is clear development potential for a single house or other uses in line with local planning rules; interested parties should check with Orkney Islands Council before proceeding.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: no services are currently connected and the purchaser will meet costs to bring utilities to the site. Broadband speeds are very slow and the wider area is described as deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. Mobile signal is average and the location is in a remoter community rather than an urban neighbourhood.
This plot will suit an investor, self-builder or buyer seeking countryside space close to Kirkwall. It presents an opportunity to create a bespoke property with strong rural outlooks, provided the buyer budgets for connection costs, planning applications and the realities of a remote island location.
