Full Description
OVERVIEWThe property is located on Sallyport, a quiet residential road within an elevated part of Hugh Town adjoining the historic Garrison walls, and therefore within close proximity to the many shops, restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that the town offers.
Designed in the 1960’s, the property is arranged over three half-levels, with bedrooms on the lower floors and the main living accommodation on the top floor to take advantage of the impressive views.
The street-level garage has been converted to a loft style studio apartment to provide seasonal accommodation for the present owners, who have holiday let the main house in recent years.
The property has the benefit of solar-thermal panels on the roof, supplementing the water heating.
With its income potential and sea views, viewing is highly recommended.
