Warleggan is situated on Church Street, a wide residential thoroughfare in the centre of Hugh Town. Forming part of Schiller Row (named after the German vessel which sank in 1875 on the infamous Retarrier Ledges), it was built in the Victorian era, originally as a grand private residence and latterly as a guest house, before being converted into self-catering apartments in 1987.
Hollandia is situated on the second floor of the building, and offers interesting attic accommodation with exposed roof timbers and good natural light throughout. The flat has low-energy LED downlights throughout, with double-glazing to the rear elevation.
Free from any planning conditions or obligations, the property can be used as a main residence, second home or holiday letting apartment. For sale complete with carpets and curtains as fitted.
Viewing highly recommended.
