Harbour Terrace, Wick, Highland. KW1 5HB

With its prime harbour front location, historical Stevenson House presents a superb development opportunity. This attractive stone-built building is steeped in history, originally the home of the Coastguard Chief the building was named after Robert Louis Stevenson who stayed at the property in the autumn of 1868.

With views over Wick marina this substantial property is currently configured to provide 11 offices over 3 floors with a floor area of 374 m2 in total. The EPC energy rating is band C which is very good for a property of this age. At present the property has two sitting tenants paying £740 per calendar month occupying offices in the first and second floors. When fully let, the building could achieve in excess of £2500 per calendar month, with a rental yield of 20 % making it a superb business investment.

Alternatively like many dwellings in the street, planning could be applied for to turn this period property back in to a family home or it could be sub-divided in to a number of apartments which, due to its close proximity to the harbour, would be sure to appeal to both locals and holiday makers alike.

Harbour Terrace retains many period features such as sash and case windows, high ceilings and deep skirtings and door facings. The property is neutrally decorated and painted magnolia throughout. There are 4 well-proportioned offices and two toilets on the ground floor with access through a rear door to an exterior store and a raised rear garden. Two separate staircases lead up to the first-floor mid-landing where there are 2 further toilets and a kitchen whilst the first floor itself has 4 offices. On the second floor there are 3 further offices and a storage cupboard.
