The sale includes the main 3 bedroom house which enjoys an open aspect and the associated owned croft for ½ 67/80 Strathy East comprising 4.56 hectares (11.27 acres) of land with a share in the common grazing as well as a 10.1 hectare (25 acre) permanent apportionment.
There is a total of four owned crofts associated with the property accumulating to approximately 21.7 hectares (53.6 acres) of land with common grazings. The additional three crofts have been advertised in a separate listing and can be purchased individually or in conjunction with the current listing.
The 3 bedroom house associated with the croft enjoys an open aspect with views across the Strathy valley and over Strathy West to the open moorland stretching to Beinn Ruadh, with glimpses of the Ben Griam mountains in the south.
The dwelling house requires some updating which allows a new owner the opportunity to create a home to their own taste, it has a working Rayburn that heats the water and the property is fully double glazed.
The land situated at the front of the main house running toward the river is good arable land suitable for growing a variety of crops. There is also sufficient land available with the property to afford the opportunity to create areas of native woodland for carbon capture or carbon credits. Woodland Creation Grants which are available can provide payments of up to £3,600 per hectare for initial planting and £624 per hectare annual maintenance payment for five years with the Native Broadleaves in Northern and Western Isles Scheme.
There is a ruinous dwelling house located within the property as well as traditional agricultural buildings which could benefit from funding from schemes such as the Croft Grant Scheme. A hard-standing suitable for a new agricultural building is also available.
The Crofting Agricultural Grants (Scotland) Scheme provides grants for the erection and improvement of agricultural buildings and the provision of fences, hedges, walls, gates and the improvement of amenities.
The land in Strathy East has direct access to 952 hectares of open moorland associated with the Strathy East, Strathy West and Baligill Common Grazings.
The transaction comprises the decrofted house for ½ 67/80 Strathy East with the house site and garden grounds extending to 0.129 hectares (0.32 Acres). This includes a small byre adjacent to the house and a stable/barn (with no roof). The main house is structurally sound and double glazed but requires updating. New carpets and a new kitchen would be required but the working Rayburn provides a focal point as well as the hot water for the house.
The owned croft for ½ 67/80 Strathy East comprising 4.56 hectares (11.27 acres) of land (which includes 1.715 hectares of permanent apportionment obtained prior to the ownership of the land which appears on the title deed map associated with the croft) and the associated "deemed croft" representing the share in the common grazing, with a 2nd "deemed croft" which is the additional permanent apportionment of 10.1 hectares (25 acre hill park). Deemed crofts are the common grazings associated with an owned croft that remain held in tenancy.
The associated map shows the location of the decrofted house and garden grounds extending to 0.129 hectares (hatched) and the location of the croft land within Strathy East (shaded brown).
