Dolphins

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 tiny capital, Hugh Town. It boasts a substantial resident population, and is a popular destination for visitors, having one of the prettiest bays on St Mary’s, together with a public house, two restaurants / cafes, a pottery and several galleries.

Dolphins occupies a fabulous corner plot at the top of Old Town slip, with views across the beautiful bay. With its South-West facing gable and patio garden, it enjoys the afternoon and evening sun.

The accommodation is presented for sale in good order throughout, with recently replaced efficient oil-fired central heating boiler and double-glazed uPVC fenestration.

Used by the present owners as a second home and for holiday letting, it has a Visit England “Four Star” grading, achieving excellent occupancy rates with 2019 tariffs ranging from £685 per week to £1,645 per week. The property is sold furnished & equipped, save for a number of personal effects, complete with the benefit of forward bookings for the 2020 season.

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