PlotDescription
Set on approximately 3.367 acres on Sanday, this roadside site looks across Pool Bay and is a short walk from a sandy beach. The property includes a traditional stone barn, a separate store and the remains of a former house. The buildings are currently used for storage, and the listing reports that improvement work has been carried out, leaving them largely wind and watertight.
Water and electricity are connected to the site, although the services have not been tested. The land and existing structures may suit a range of future uses, subject to the necessary consents. No planning permission is in place, and buyers should make their own enquiries about the feasibility of any proposals.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
41out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial island-site project rather than a finished home: the photographs show a stone barn and store, plus the remains of a former house, with no finished residential accommodation visible. The open grassland, roadside access, coastal outlook over Pool Bay and proximity to the beach give the site a distinctive setting, while the existing stone buildings offer a canvas for someone prepared to explore a major conversion or rebuild project.
At £45,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. No planning permission is in place, so any future residential use or development would depend on feasibility and the necessary consents. The 41/100, grade E score reflects the limited condition and economics evidence, despite the appealing location and setting.
Key opportunities
- Explore how the traditional stone barn, separate store and former-house remains could contribute to a future island retreat, subject to feasibility and consent.
- Make the most of the open grassland, roadside access and views across Pool Bay, with a beach a short stroll away.
Key risks
- The buildings are unfinished storage structures and the former house is in remains; plan for a heavy, full-scale building programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- No planning permission is in place, so future residential use or development is not assured and requires consent checks.
- The roof coverings and building condition need close inspection; the photographs do not establish structural failure.
