Penold

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Penold is situated in an elevated position on the crest of a hill, midway between Old Town and Hugh Town, and therefore just 600m from the tiny “capital” of St Mary’s with its shops, schools, banks, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities. 

The property has a South-Easterly aspect, with sea views across towards Old Town Bay – perfect for enjoying the morning sun. The upper floor has sloping ceilings, and benefits from a distant sea view across the rooftops to Tresco and Bryher from bedroom one. The property enjoys excellent natural light levels throughout, and would be equally suitable for use as a main residence or holiday home.
 
Originally part of a guest house, the property was split some years ago into two separate dwellings. Penold therefore shares its drive with the neighbouring property, Broomfields.

Penold offers extensive family accommodation, with generous room sizes, and the benefit of extensive outbuildings and garden. It is now in need of thorough modernisation and refurbishment throughout – a perfect blank canvas to create a bespoke home.
 
Viewing highly recommended.
