Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Porthcressa Road is situated close to the heart of Hugh Town, within a short level walk of the banks, shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities the town offers.

The area surrounding the ever-popular Porthcressa Beach, just a few metres from the property, has recently been the subject of a £4million pound regeneration project, with improved public walkways, landscaped gardens and new amenity buildings.

Probably built in the 1930s, with later extensions, Moyles has a pleasant southerly aspect, and enjoys sea views from the garden across Porthcressa Bay. It has a mature rear garden with hedged boundaries, with a paved front garden with space for off-street parking.

Now in need of upgrading throughout, Moyles represents a rare opportunity for the discerning purchaser looking for a well-located property with sea views. The property has generally good natural light, well-proportioned rooms that could be re-configured internally, and has further potential for conversion of the roofspace into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Viewing essential to appreciate the potential this property offers.

To the rear of the house is the main garden, backing onto Porthcressa Beach, having Pittasporum hedged boundaries, and heavily planted with mature plants including Agapanthus, palms and Fuschias. Currently the height of he garden hedges restricts the view across Porthcressa Bay, but subject to pruning of the hedge the property would enjoy wonderful sea views.
