A large freehold former farm steading set within approximately 0.40 acres, offering striking views over farmland and the Loch of Stenness. The site includes a stone-built former farmhouse barn and an adjoining store; the stone building may have architectural or historic merit and must be retained during development. Located within the Hoy and West Mainland Scenic Area and the Inner Sensitive Zone of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, any new build will require high-quality design and careful planning.
Planning buyers should note an initial archaeological evaluation is required as part of any planning application; further evaluations may be needed depending on proposed works and will be the purchaser’s responsibility. Mains water is believed to be close by but purchasers will be liable for taking services to the site. The existing buildings are derelict: roof damage and overgrown areas are present and substantial repair or demolition will be necessary.
This plot suits a buyer experienced with rural development, restoration, or a sympathetic new-build project that respects conservation constraints. There may be scope for one principal house sited east of the outbuildings and possibly a second dwelling subject to planning. Broadband and mobile signal are strong; there is no identified flood risk. The site is offered at a modest asking price that reflects the development obligations and the need for archaeological and building work.
