Fancy living by a Lighthouse?
There is one for sale in Orkney.
LIGHTHOUSE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
AS QUOTED:"A rare opportunity to purchase three former Lightkeeper’s homes comprising a pair of “Stevenson” Victorian cottages, a 1950’s three bedroom house and several outbuildings including a detached garage. Private and secluded within an acre of walled grounds and over a mile from its nearest neighbour, Cantick Head Lighthouse offers peace and tranquillity occasionally interrupted by the sound of the sea and calling of the birds.
Dramatic scenery, bird, marine and plant life in abundance, mild climate and very little traffic serve to make Cantick Head an ideal base for walking and cycling. Sea angling is a common pastime from the cliffs below the Lighthouse and Trout fishing is available at Heldale Water. Archaeology, Geology and an impressive Naval history from the Vikings to World War II are all on the doorstep.
The beautiful island of Hoy enjoys excellent links to the mainland by regular roll-on, roll-off ferry services. The village of Longhope is well served by a Health Centre and North Walls Community School together with a fitness centre, swimming pool, post office and licensed general store, two Hotels, a Pub and the Gable End Theatre.
Unique holiday accommodation is offered in the two Victorian Lightkeeper's cottages which have been graded STB 4* self-catering together with Cyclist & Walkers Welcome awards.
Restored and refurbished to a very high standard, the cottages provide the modern facilities and comforts associated with 21st century living yet retain many original Victorian features."
I would love to stay somewhere like that, but maybe not in Orkney.
Nothing against Orkney, it's a lovely place but I would like to be on the mainland.
Looks like you can stay there for holidays
That may change though!
OMG I just need to win the Lottery guys then I will buy it, we can have a massive Scotschat party woo hoo !!!!! That would be a dream for me seriously.
