LandDescription
A decrofted plot of approximately 0.199 hectares (0.492 acres) is offered for sale at Achnacarnin in Assynt. Planning Permission in Principle is in place for the erection of a house under reference 24/02855/pip, providing a basis for a self-build proposal subject to the relevant requirements and any further consents.
The site is set in a rural Highland landscape and is accessed from the adjoining road. The listing describes the plot as around 1,990 sq m and notes that the croft tenancy for additional adjoining land may be available by separate negotiation. Buyers should make their own enquiries with The Highland Council about the planning position, development requirements and availability of services.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £70,000, this is a notably low-cost opportunity against the stated local £/sqf benchmark, but the comparison is indicative because the plot has no completed house or known floor area. The appeal is the chance to shape a bespoke Highland home on a generous rural site, with open countryside and coastal scenery in the wider setting. Planning Permission in Principle is in place; check its status, conditions, service provision and the further consents required before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- Create a home or retreat designed around your own needs, subject to planning requirements and further consents.
- The approximately 0.492-acre plot offers outdoor space in a rural setting with open countryside and coastal scenery nearby.
- The listing notes the option to acquire adjoining croft land separately for a larger landholding.
Key risks
- No completed building or visible services are shown; establish service availability, site requirements and likely build programme.
- Confirm the Planning Permission in Principle remains valid and clarify its conditions and the additional approvals needed.
