Old Town Stores

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Old Town is situated on the south side of St Mary’s, approximately a ten to fifteen minute walk from Scilly’s “capital”, Hugh Town. It boasts a substantial (by local standards) resident population, and is a popular destination for visitors, having one of the prettiest bays on St Mary’s, together with a public house, pottery, gallery and new gin distillery.

The premises occupy a prominent site at the junction of Old Town Lane and Ennor Close, in the heart of Old Town. A forecourt area adjoining the shop provides useful short stay car parking for customers.

The shop has an attractive facade in local granite, with glazed display windows and double loading doors at the side for stock.
