Menawethan, St Marys

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

“Menawethan” is an attractive, detached double-fronted cottage, of traditional dressed granite construction with modern rear extension. It is situated literally a “stones throw” from the ever popular Porthcressa Beach, enjoying good natural light and close to the many amenities Hugh Town offers.

The owners have invested considerable time and money in recent years upgrading the property, including new double-glazed fenestration throughout (hardwood sliding sash to the front elevation and uPVC elsewhere), modern efficient programmable electric radiators and a stylish modern fitted kitchen. The house is now offered for sale in good decorative order throughout – a true “turn-key” opportunity.

Viewing highly recommended.
