* Freehold
Overview
Excellent opportunity to acquire a house site in a rural area within easy
reach of Lerwick and all its amenities, just 8 miles to the south, and on the
right side of town for access to the north / Brae etc.
The fairly level site which extends to around 1/3 acre or thereby as shown on
the plan should provide space for a good - sized detached house with a decent
sized garden and views over the surrounding area.
The site previously had outline planning permission although this lapsed in
2018. Re - instating permission is not expected to be an issue although
prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard by contacting
the local planning office directly.
Water, electricity and telephone services serving neighbouring properties run
close to the boundaries of the site, therefore servicing the site should be
relatively straightforward although again purchasers should satisfy themselves
in this regard.
General Information
The site is situated about 8 miles to the north of Lerwick at the end of the
quiet Breiwick Road. The location puts it within easy reach of the town and
also on the right side for access to the north / Brae etc.
The area has a very rural feel, with just a scattering of other houses. There
is a local primary school in nearby Tingwall, other amenities can be found in
the town.
The plot is generally level and enjoys a south / westerly aspect allowing for
views over the surrounding area.
The size of the site should allow for plenty of space for a good - sized
detached house with a decent garden.
Water, electricity and telephone services serving neighbouring properties run
close to the boundaries of the site, therefore servicing the site should be
relatively straightforward although purchasers should satisfy themselves in
this regard by contacting the various utility providers directly as no
warranties will be given.
Outline Planning Permission was granted in May 2013 (Ref: 2013/089) although
this has now lapsed. Full planning permission will therefore be required which
will be the responsibility of the purchaser. A copy of the previous outline
planning permission can be found on Shetland Island Council’s website.
The site has already been decrofted.
Property location
To reach the site from the south, take the main road north out of Lerwick to
Veensgarth, Tingwall and turn north following signs for Gott Farm, Strand &
Laxfirth. Drive past the school on the right, up to the head of Strand Loch
and turn right to Califf & Breiwick. Continue for just over a mile to a ‘T’
junction and turn left to Breiwick. Carry on for a further 1¼ to the end of
the road; the site is on your right, next to a whitish coloured house with a
side extension and brown wooden fence. From the north, turn left to Strand
just before the main westside road junction, and follow directions from the
head of Strand Loch.
