Firebrand

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Warleggan is situated on Church Street, a wide residential thoroughfare in the centre of Hugh Town. Forming part of Schiller Row (named after the German vessel which sank in 1875 on the infamous Retarrier Ledges), it was built in the Victorian era, originally as a grand private residence and latterly as a guest house, before being converted into self-catering apartments by the current owners in 1987.

Firebrand is situated on the mezzanine and second floor of the building, and offers well-proportioned accommodation with good natural light throughout. It has modern low-maintenance Upvc double-glazed windows throughout, and electric heating. Excellent storage provision.

Free from any planning conditions or obligations, the property can be used as a main residence, second home or holiday letting apartment. For sale complete with carpets and curtains as fitted.

Viewing highly recommended.
