Details

An exciting opportunity to acquire land extending to 3.2 acres or thereby with various outbuildings situated in the picturesque area of Sourin on the island of Rousay. Enjoying a peaceful rural setting surrounded by Orkney's spectacular natural scenery, Wigleywoo offers excellent potential for those seeking a lifestyle project, smallholding or future development opportunity.

• Various outbuildings and land extending to 3.2 acres or thereby
• 4 outbuildings have been re-roofed, 3 have mains electricity
• Caravan on site with fibre optic WiFi
• Registered holding - farm code No 627/0108
• Potential for development with the appropriate consents from the local authority. There was previously planning in place for a three bedroom dwelling with outhouses, garage space and general purpose sheds which has since lapsed 11/576/PP
• Close to primary school and shop

The land contains a number of buildings including a ruinous stone built, extended, ‘but and ben’ cottage, four stone built byres with a block-built shed attached which was formerly used as a community snooker hall. Four outbuildings have been re-roofed and three have mains electricity. Parts of the buildings are believed to date back to the 1500’s.

The property is a registered holding and may appeal to those looking for agricultural or hobby farming opportunities.

A particular feature is the development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary consents from the local authority. Previous planning permission was granted for development on the site (Planning Reference 11/576/PP), although this permission has now lapsed, providing prospective purchasers with an indication of the site's potential for future redevelopment.

The site is isolated from Souso Burn by a narrow band of ground and a post and wire fence extending down the length of the southern boundary. The neighbour and owner of this area has expressed an interest in selling it to give the property a water frontage if desired.

Situated within the island of Rousay, the location offers a unique blend of history, tranquillity and natural beauty. Rousay benefits from a welcoming community, local amenities and regular ferry connections to Mainland Orkney, making it an attractive location for those seeking a quieter pace of life while remaining well connected.
