6 Sallyport

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

The property is located on Sallyport, a quiet residential road within an elevated part of Hugh Town adjoining the historic Garrison walls, and therefore within close proximity to the many shops, restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that the town offers.
Formerly the house of the Council’s Chief executive, No6 Sallyport is deemed surplus to requirements, and is now offered for sale for the first time in many years. Occupying a sloping site, the living accommodation is currently arranged on a single level, with a basement undercroft providing useful workshop / storage space. The living accommodation has unusually high ceilings and generous glazing, resulting in light and airy accommodation with excellent natural light – particularly the large double aspect lounge.

In need of complete renovation, No6 Sallyport offers the potential to make a highly desirable, and substantial, family home.

With its huge potential, commanding views and substantial gardens, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this unusual opportunity.
