Saltwinds

Full Description

OVERVIEW

The property is located on Little Porth, a quiet residential area within Hugh Town, and therefore within close proximity to the many shops, restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that the town offers. 

The house has a splendid position right on the beach, with wonderful sea views. It is currently used as a holiday home and for letting through Come2Scilly, although no bookings have been taken beyond 31st October 2023. https://www.come2scilly.com/properties/2023/saltwinds.html. 

The property is fitted with modern uPVC windows, and has night storage heating throughout. It would benefit from a light scheme of modernisation to achieve its full potential, but would make a highly desirable, seafront family home. Furnishings, fixtures & fittings included, other than a number of personal effects. An inventory will be prepared prior to sale.

With its huge potential and sea views, viewing is highly recommended.
