Gillen, Waternish IV55

House Site, 11 Gillen, Waternish, Isle Of Skye, IV55 8GR

The house site at 11 Gillen extends to approximately 1/4 of an acre and enjoys unrestricted views out across Loch Snizort towards the Ascrib Islands and the Trotternish peninsula.
The site sits immediately adjacent to the Gillen Township road and as such would be very easy to develop.
Detailed planning consent for a three bedroom 1½ storey property was granted in 2006 under planning reference 06/00153/fulsl, the site was levelled and a septic tank installed.
It will be up to the purchaser to check that the planning authority accept that the planning permission remains valid as a material start has been made or to apply for their own planning consent to their specification.
The installation of the water and electricity supplies will also be the responsibility of the purchaser although it is believed that both are close by.
Viewing of the site is highly recommended in order to appreciate its wonderful location.

Location:
Waternish lies some 25 miles north west of Portree, the principal town on the island and is afforded a limited number of facilities including a pub and a well known seafood restaurant, public slip and moorings, village hall and the area is served by a mobile bank van, library and fishmonger. Dunvegan, with the nearest shops and medical centre, is about 12 miles away. Portree has all the facilities you would expect, secondary school, swimming pool, cinema, theatre, supermarket, shops, restaurants, banks and library. Primary schooling is available in both Edinbane and Dunvegan. As well as the Waternish area being popular with walkers it is also a haven for wildlife with Minki whales, basking sharks, dolphins, sea eagles and deer seen in the area.

Viewing:
Strictly by appointment through this agency.
