Full Description

OVERVIEW

The property is situated in the centre of Hugh Town on the corner of Garrison Lane and Hugh Street, hence the name “Corners”. The popular Hugh Street Café is situated below the apartment, separated by a substantial concrete floor, and the many other amenities of town are all within a short level walk. 

Along with the neighbouring apartment, the property was converted in 2003 and has remained in the same ownership since. The property is now offered for sale in good decorative order throughout, complete with carpets and curtains as fitted. The accommodation is light and airy, and has the benefit of modern uPVC double glazing throughout. 

The private enclosed patio area, which is situated above the flat roof of the neighbouring retail shop, has been enjoyed for many years. It is currently occupied on an informal basis.

In summary, a rare opportunity to acquire a large three-bedroom apartment in a prime central location, perfect for both permanent occupation or as an income-producing island retreat / investment. Viewing essential to appreciate the size and quality of the accommodation.
