2 Bexley Terrace, Wick, Caithness
The Area
Wick is the most northerly harbour town on the east coast of Britain, and the County town of Caithness. The town offers the usual multiple stores, ample free parking adjacent to the main High Street, and a small pedestrianised shopping area, which predominately comprises Nineteenth Century buildings. Nursery, primary, secondary and college education can be obtained within the town.

Stone built semi-detached property in a residential area of Wick.
Accommodation consists of Hall, Living Room, Kitchen, Cellars, 6 bedrooms and bathroom. There is UPVC double glazing on all windows and mains gas central heating. The large single garage is equipped with power and workshop space, and as it connects to the kitchen it is also useable as utility room. There is a small established garden at the rear of the house. Of particular note are the magnificent views over the whole of Wick harbour and bay.
