    About this property

      Former church in beautiful Scottish costal village.

      Nestled on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands lies the pretty little village of Poolewe. Sitting on the world famous NC500 this project property is in an ideal location to take advantage of the year round Scottish tourism trade. The village sits just south west of the town of Ullapool and is only a short distance away from the famous road over Applecross.

      The property itself was formerly a church and planning has been through consultation and is now under consideration with the highland council for Change of use of church to residential including internal renovation and conversion and external alterations.

      The planning application details can be viewed on the highland council website using planning reference number 25/01463/lbc.

      This is a real opportunity to create either your dream highland home in one of the most picturesque places in the country or a chance to start up and run a thriving rental business as there is potential to change the plans to construct two seperate rental properties. The site is fully serviced with mains water, drainage and electricity.

      The overall finished project could have a potential value of up to £450,000 which is supported by sales evidence visible on rightmove this year. Average house prices were up 137% over the last year.

      Potential rental income if converted into two rental properties could be worth an estimated £2000 per week. At the standard 70% occupancy this would be a yearly rental income of £72,800.

      The property itself sits directly on the coast overlooking Loch Ewe providing unbeatable scenery directly out your back door. The site itself has roadside access from Cliffton Place. The church itself is almost 200 years old having been constructed in 1828.

      The nearest main city of Inverness is approximately 75 miles away or roughly a 2 hour drive. From here you can get major transport links all over Scotland and abroad.

      Poolewe's main attraction is the stunning Inverewe Garden, a subtropical oasis with a variety of plants and flowers. Visitors can also explore the local area's wild coastal scenery, go on a wildlife tour with Wild Ewe Safaris, or hike the Inverewe Estate Trail around Loch Kernsary. The village also hosts a weekly Tuesday market, a hotel, and a village hall that serves as a hub for local events.

      Engineers drawings available in pdf format on request. A building warrant has now also been issued.
