Windmill Cottage, Mid-Clyth, Lybster, KW3 6BA

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this 7 acre croft which is fully fenced and gated and has a fully insulated outbuilding measuring 4m x 15m.  The building was previously a cottage and planning could be sought to reinstate the building as a cottage.  Planning has been granted to build a dwelling house on a de-crofted site which extends to approximately 1/2 acre of land.  The footing is laid and passed and the driveway is laid.  Water and electricity are located close by and BT Fibre Broadband is on the edge of the property.  The building warrant does not expire until June 2025.  Situated up past the historic site of The Hill of Many Stanes, there are views across the countryside and to the open sea beyond.

Go through the gate and continue up the road, the property is the only property and is only your left.

The Hill O' Many Stanes (Stones) is situated in Mid Clyth which is 4 or 5 miles from the village of Lybster.  Nobody can actually say how old these rows of stones are although they are believed to be around 4,000 years old. Today there are around 200 stones of up to a metre high remaining with smaller stones nearby.  The village of Lybster has a harbour, hotels and a primary school. There is a bowling club, and also a nine-hole golf course. Secondary education can be found in Wick which is a short bus journey away. Lybster is on a bus route, and is located off the main A9 Wick to Inverness road. Further facilities such as supermarkets, the Caithness General Hospital, and John O Groats Airport are located in Wick, which is approximately a fifteen-minute drive from Mid Clyth.
