Stargazing, Spean Bridge, PH34 4EX

2,351sqm plot with planning permission previously granted for bespoke detached house in stunning location in the Scottish Highlands almost at the foot of Ben Nevis.

The build was not started so planning has now lapsed but the suggestion made to the auctioneer is that planning permission is likely to be granted for the correct property.

The site is located within a housing group and surrounded by high value properties.

Planning permission was originally granted back in 1990- this planning was renewed in 2014 and then refreshed again in 2016- this planning has now expired.
