Uppness

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Originally the owner’s house for what was then “Hotel Godolphin”, the property was converted into apartments in the 1970s, and adapted by the present owners approximately 20 years ago.

It is situated in “Back Lane”, a quiet cul de sac between Porthcressa Beach and Town Beach, and just a short walk from the many amenities on offer.

“Uppness” is arranged over ground and first floors, having access at first floor level via an external staircase shared with the second floor flat. Having a spacious kitchen/dining room, this space could be configured to provide a separate kitchen and create a third bedroom.

The property is very well-presented, and is offered for sale including floor coverings, curtains and appliances as fitted. Externally it is low-maintenance, with modern uPVC double-glazing throughout.

The ground floor flat, Downness, is also for sale by the same vendor, offering the prospective purchaser the opportunity to acquire a home and income, or to suit multi-generational living.

With its large garage / workshop and private patio, viewing is highly recommended.
