In the picturesque village of Culbokie, nestled within the Scottish Highlands, a unique opportunity awaits ambitious self-builders. The plot, known as Briar Cottage, includes an existing croft building and covers an area of 18.3 acres, offering stunning views of the mountain Ben Wyvis to the north in Easter Ross.

A croft, in Scottish terms, is a small agricultural landholding with a dwelling house. The plot in question, despite being in a state of disrepair, can be retained as an ancillary building to a new development.

The planning application, submitted by Mr. David Taylor, proposes the conversion of the existing croft building into a pottery business and a new traditional 1.5-storey country home. The house plans include a slate roof, wet harl exterior, and windows with a vertical emphasis, while the linked garage will feature vertical timber cladding and a slate roof.

Unlike many croft buildings, this one does not require permission from the Croft Commission to purchase. The plot also benefits from access to water mains and electrics on site, making it a ready-made opportunity for the next project.

The plot is currently being showcased on Homebuilding & Renovating's sister site: Plotfinder.net. Interested parties can find details on how to make an offer for Briar Cottage on Plotfinder. The plot is available for sale at £395,000, making it an attractive proposition for those seeking a challenging and rewarding self-build project.

Whether you're a potter looking for a unique studio space or a self-builder with a passion for traditional architecture, Briar Cottage offers a conversion opportunity that is not to be missed. So, if you're ready to embark on an exciting new project in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, consider Briar Cottage – a historic croft building with a modern vision.
