Land For Sale £30,000
Overview
Just two sites remaining (sites 1 & 3); sites 2,4,5,6,7 & 8 now sold
Small development of eight house sites (6 sold) in attractive rural location on the north side of Cunningsburgh, just 9 miles south of Lerwick.
The sites (click here to see a plan of the development) are offered for sale individually although a sale of the whole area to a single developer would also be considered.
Planning permission previously granted for sites 5 & 7 (now sold); permission for the remainder is not expected to be an issue.
There are fine views northwards to Bressay particularly from the sites along the northern boundary of the development.
All the sites have already been de-crofted and the overall development is already connected to mains services.
General Information
The sites are conveniently situated within an existing settlement in a rural location on the Aithsetter side road just off the main Lerwick – Sumburgh road on the north side of Cunningsburgh, within easy commuting distance of Lerwick, just 9 miles to the north.
The village of Cunningsburgh which is scattered over a fairly wide area, has its own primary school (older pupils go to Sandwick or Lerwick), a well-used community hall plus a marina at Aithsvoe. A new farm shop & café is currently being constructed just to the north of the development. This will be easily accessible via a new footpath in the north-western corner of the site which will link in with an existing path to the Fladdabister road.
The village hosts one of Shetland’s biggest agricultural shows in August.
The land which is generally level with a gentle slope from west to east, lies behind existing properties along the Fladdabister and Aithsetter roads, with open farmland to the north and east allowing for fine views northwards over the surrounding countryside towards Bressay and the southern approach to Lerwick.
A road would run through the development with access from the Aithsetter public road at the west end.
The sites are arranged either side of the road, the site by the junction with the public road enjoying an open southerly aspect. Three sites would lie to the south side of the road, four to the north, these sites being particularly well-placed to take advantage of the view north.
It is envisaged that a range of detached house types would be built, ranging from a two bedroom single storey property likely to appeal to downsizers or first time buyers, to bigger four bedroom 1½ storey houses on larger sites. This would provide a good mix of development opportunities attracting a wider range of potential purchasers.
The whole site has already been decrofted and is therefore ready for immediate occupation.
A Deed of Conditions will cover the whole development. Further details can be provided on request.
Services
The estate road will be constructed prior to any development commencing. Mains water, electricity and telephone connections run to the development. Each site will require a pump chamber for connection to a sewage break chamber serving the development which along with associated pipework and manholes leading to the public sewer, is already in place.
Final individual water, electric & telephone connections to each site, and the installation of each site pump chamber and associated connections to the main sewerage system will be the responsibility of the purchaser. A small annual charge per site will be payable to cover the cost of maintenance of the main system.
Property location
To reach the sites take the turning east to Aithsetter and Fladdabister from the main Lerwick – Sumburgh road at the north end of Cunningsburgh. Just after the turning to Fladdabister is a row of houses along the road. The development is immediately behind these houses.
