Cannon House

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Cannon House was built in 1968 on Jackson’s Hill, a quiet cul de sac on the eastern side of Hugh Town. The fourteen houses which make up Jackson’s Hill are all large and detached, and have mostly been designed to suit the original sloping hillside site and to take advantage of the sea and island views where possible. Cannon House has sea views from the kitchen, upper lounge and balcony.

The accommodation is currently arranged as a large four-bedroom owners’ maisonette, with self-contained one-bedroom apartment. However, the layout of the property would allow easy sub-division into three separate units if required, and subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation is spacious and well-presented throughout, having generous room sizes and generally excellent natural light. The property has double-glazed uPVC fenestration, and efficient oil-fired central heating. A 2016 extension to the kitchen of the owner’s maisonette has created a beautifully light room, having real “wow” factor.

With its excellent accommodation and great location, we have no hesitation in recommending an early viewing.
