Rooftops

Full Description

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Rooftops was built in the early 1980s 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. Rooftops was the penultimate house to be built and arguably offers the finest design on the hill, with attractive granite elevations.

The house has been designed to gain maximum benefit from its elevated position, with multi-aspect views across Porthmellon Beach to Tresco and Bryher beyond, and also across the Lower Moors. The lounge and kitchen / dining / day room are stunning spaces.

The house is interestingly arranged over multi-levels, with a natural flow between the living rooms. It is heavily glazed throughout with modern wood-effect uPVC fenestration and has the benefit of a modern oil-fired central heating system. Carpets and curtains s fitted are included.

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