Bishop View

Full Description

GENERAL

Bishop View is situated on Porthloo Lane, close to its junction with Telegraph Road, approximately 1¼ miles from Hugh Town, the tiny “capital” of St Mary’s, with its shops, school, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities. 

St Marys Golf Club is just a short level walk away, having direct access via a gated path from the garden. 

The property is surprisingly spacious, with good natural light throughout. It would, however, benefit from modernisation and /or remodelling / extension to fulfil its potential, providing a blank canvas for a prospective purchaser to create a beautiful home.

The attractive grounds extend to 0.45 acres, laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs, trees and palms and ornamental pond.

With its accommodation potential, great location, sea views and attractive gardens, we have no hesitation in recommending an early viewing.
