OVERVIEW
Porthcressa Road is situated close to the heart of Hugh Town, within a short level walk of the shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities the town offers.
Ever-popular Porthcressa Beach is just a stone’s throw from the property, with promenade, gardens and cafe.
Kirkless has a southerly aspect, and enjoys a partial sea view to Porthcressa Bay from the upper bedroom. It has low maintenance uPVC double-glazed windows throughout. It is offered for sale in fair decorative order, but would benefit from a light scheme of refurbishment to realise its full potential.
The layout of the accommodation makes it perfect as a home with letting unit, thereby providing an income, or for multi-generational living.
Viewing recommended.
