Property Summary
Forsinain Steading is a 'nearly complete' project with one third being finished and the other two thirds up to first fix and is just requiring the fixtures and fittings added. All the materials are purchased and on site awaiting finishing. A project for a keen enthusiast to finish off or for an allocated price to pay a builder to finish off. The property also includes under floor heating on ground and first floor that is fired by a log fuelled boiler located in the plant room.
Caithness and Sutherland have varied scenery from cliffs, lonely moorland, remote sandy beaches and clear blue waters and superb panoramic views. There are many and various opportunities to engage with the outdoors such as fantastic river walks, hillwalking, on and off road cycling, fishing of all varieties for trout, salmon and beach and boat sea fishing. The area is well known for its surfing. The roads are great, well suited for motorcycling and enjoying being behind the wheel of a car too. The town of Thurso is approx 45 minutes away, where there are a variety of shops, including three supermarkets. The doctors surgery is at Armadale, 20 easy minutes away. A glorious and friendly place to live!
