Doctor's Keys

Full Description

OVERVIEW
Doctor’s Keys, named after the ledge of rocks situated off the Garrison shoreline, is situated in a
quiet, elevated part of Hugh Town just below the Garrison Walls. It is close to the many shops,
restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that the town offers, but away
from the noise associated with a town centre location.

The property enjoys fabulous panoramic views across Hugh Town, stretching from Peninnis Head
in the south to St Martins in the north. In particular, it overlooks St Marys Harbour, perhaps one of
the most interesting views on the islands.

Doctor’s Keys offers good-sized accommodation, and enjoys excellent natural light throughout.
The property is now in need of refurbishment to achieve its full potential, ideal as either a full-time
home or holiday let / investment. Offered for sale with no onward chain, viewing is highly
recommended.
