Strathy Road House Site is in the scattered hamlet of Ardross in Easter Ross. The property comprises a building plot with detailed planningconsent for a four bedroom house with separate garage set in grounds of approximately five acres. The site is slightly elevated and has spectacular views over its own land to Loch Dubh and the hills and mountains of Strathrusdale.Strathrusdale is a peaceful glen which forms part of the area of Ardross. The road through the glen extends for about 2.5 miles and at its end there are tracks and trails that lead through forestry and moorland to hills and mountains dotted with lochs. The River Blackwater flows through Strathrusdale into the River Alness, a popular salmon and trout river, and the glen is also famous as being the site of Ardross Castle, the location for the TV series Traitors. The wider area offers many opportunities for recreational activities from the shoreline of the Cromarty Firth to the inland to the hills and lochs, all dominated by the magnificent backdrop of Ben Wyvis. Many golfers use Easter Ross as a base from which to enjoy the links courses that follow the coast asfar as Golspie, the most notable of which is Royal Dornoch golf course.Ardross village has a primary school, village hall and church while the nearby town of Alness has a good range of facilities including supermarkets, a train station and secondary school. Inverness is just half-an-hour’s drive away and has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.DESCRIPTIONFull planning consent was granted on 26th July 2023 (Planning Reference 23/00643/FUL) for a four bedroom house and separate garage with workshop and one bedroom annexe above. The house site lies fairly centrally within its grounds and its slight elevation gives stunning westerly views up the glen to Loch Dubh and distantmountains. The access track from the public road has been installed and some of the materials for the groundworks have been brought to the site. A mains electricity and water connection lie on the roadside approximately 160 ms to the north of the entrance to the property, and drainage is to a septic tank.
