Cantick Head Lighthouse Keepers’ Cottages (c) Calum McRoberts
OPTION 1] If you would like to buy just ONE of the former lighthouse keepers’ dwellings at the Cantick Head Lighthouse Compound (starting from £79,000 per house) this may be possible via solicitors acting for the Lighthouses for Sale website. In the past we have successfully arranged for Land Registry title splits, whereby single houses are distilled from a larger complex. This is especially useful when all a buyer wishes is a single home and not a large commercial business (commercial entities such as the larger Cantick Head 3 house compound often require a stringent high-deposit commercial mortgage. If funding is required for a SINGLE domestic dwelling, this is usually via a much more borrower-friendly domestic mortgage).
The guide prices for SINGLE property purchase are…
First Assistant Lighthouse Keeper’s House (Semi-Detached): Offers Over £81,000
Second Assistant Lighthouse Keeper’s House (Semi-Detached): Offers Over £79,000
Principal Lighthouse Keeper’s House (Detached): Offers Over £140,000

Agency Narrative: The Principal Lightkeeper’s house and 2 Assistant Lightkeeper’s cottages are set in an elevated position offering breath-taking views over the Pentland Firth. The property is presently a successful self catering business but would equally lend itself to a large or extended family seeking tranquillity.

Cantick Head Lighthouse Compound is at the south east tip of Longhope which itself is at the south end of the island commonly referred to as Hoy. Hoy is one of Orkney’s south isles and its amenities include a junior secondary school, swimming pool, theatre/cinema, general store and post office. There are many places of scenic and archaeological interest and the island is connected to the Orkney mainland by the regular roll-on, roll-off ferries. Interested parties should note that the Northern Lighthouse Board have retained ownership of the lighthouse and the building to the side of the lighthouse together with access to both and including the use of a helicopter pad.
