A property of this size (2,000sqm internally) may offer potential for multiple uses with residential development sought locally. A change in the planning application would be required.

Wick is a town and Royal burgh in Caithness straddling the river Wick and Wick Bay. Wick has a resident population of approximately 7,000 making it the second largest town in the region- after Thurso.

The historic, rugged costal town of Wick enjoys a prominent position on the North Coast 500 route approximately 16 miles south of John O’Groats and enjoys a strong demand for short-term accommodation as a result.

Caithness covers a wide area in the far north east of the Highlands, it includes the towns of Wick and Thurso, two of the larger settlements in the Highlands. Less mountainous than the rest of the Highlands, the landscape of Caithness is made up of attractive rolling farm and moorland, and a long and impressive coastline.

This lot will be sold under auction terms and conditions by Braveheart Auctions.
