Windward

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Windward is situated in an elevated position on Church Road, just 500m from Hugh Town, the tiny “capital” of St Mary’s with its shops, schools, banks, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities. 

The property has a westerly aspect, with sea views across to Samson – perfect for enjoying Scilly’s famous sunsets, and therefore ideally suitable for either main of holiday use. The property generally enjoys excellent natural light levels, catching the sun all day.
 
Windward offers spacious family accommodation, with generous room sizes and good ceiling heights. It is now in need of modernisation throughout, with potential for conversion of the roofspace to extend the accommodation – a perfect blank canvas to create a bespoke home.
 
Viewing highly recommended.
