LandDescription
This owner-occupied croft extends to approximately 2.6 acres on the outskirts of Bonar Bridge. The elevated, south-facing land is described as Region 1 with free-draining soil, and has wide views across the Kyle of Sutherland and surrounding countryside. The land currently forms part of the larger Maikle croft and is to be apportioned on sale. Further registration information is available from the Crofting Commission under reference S0550.
The croft is subject to statutory duties, including residence on or within 20 miles of the land, cultivation or another purposeful use, and an annual notice to the Crofting Commission. Prospective purchasers should take legal advice from a solicitor experienced in crofting matters. Any development would depend on the necessary consents being secured.
Bonar Bridge has a primary school, convenience shops, takeaways, a garage and hairdressers, as well as a community hub with a gym, play area and café. Tain, with a wider range of supermarkets, is approximately 15 miles to the east.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a land opportunity rather than a house renovation: around 2.6 acres of open, south-facing croft land with maintained grass, visible boundaries and panoramic Kyle of Sutherland views. The elevated setting and free-draining soil give it appeal for cultivation or another purposeful use, while any prospective development depends on securing the necessary consents.
The overall WHOTS score is E, reflecting limited evidence to assess the value and wider fundamentals rather than a judgement that the £85,000 price is dear. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Crofting duties, the land extent to be apportioned on sale and planning feasibility all warrant careful verification.
Key opportunities
- Use the approximately 2.6 acres of free-draining, south-facing land for cultivation or another purposeful croft use.
- Make the most of the elevated outlook across the Kyle of Sutherland and surrounding countryside.
- Explore the stated prospective development potential, subject to planning consent and crofting requirements.
Key risks
- Crofting duties include residence within 20 miles or on the croft, maintaining it for a purposeful use, and submitting an annual notice; take specialist legal advice.
- The land is to be apportioned from a larger croft, so confirm the precise extent and registration details before purchase.
- Development potential is unconfirmed and depends on obtaining the necessary consents.
