Cottage for sale in Sarclet, Thrumster, Wick KW1

Lifestyle change with income

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this well-presented decrofted cottage, just a stone’s throw from the coast and beach of Sarclet Haven. With outstanding sea views in the coastal village of Sarclet, this well-presented family home offers a fabulous location with a lifestyle change. Offering an income from the business, which is already up and running, the caravan and motorhome site has five large, hard-standing pitches, all with an electric hookup plus a spare hookup, ideal for a pod or shepherds hut subject to planning. There are also 4.5 acres of croft land.

The land is fenced into three paddocks, which are separate from the pitches. There is also a 16 × 8ft stable and a 16 × 8 ft field shelter. Due to the size of the land, there is scope to increase the caravan park as well as building a house subject to gaining planning consent.

The property is situated just 1.5 miles off the world famous NC500 route, so ideally placed for travellers and tourists. The caravan site was completed in 2022 and has 5 large (10×6m) level hardstanding pitches. Each pitch has a metered 10amp electric hook up point, and are accessed by the hardstanding road, giving plenty of space for vehicles and turning. There is grey water disposal and a holding tank for chemical disposal, with fresh water, and rubbish and recycling points. Also, just a 2-minute walk away from the site is the fabulous John O Groats trail, which runs along this part of the coastline. Planning permission permits the site to be open 12 months of the year.

Situated in a beautiful, tranquil, rural setting, the property is just a short driving distance to Thrumster where schooling and a pub can be found. It is an eightmile drive to Wick, which is the second largest town in the county of Caithness. This property is accessible to all local amenities including primary schools, hotels, restaurants, the Caithness General Hospital, bus and rail links, as well as the John O Groats Airport.
