Downness

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.

The property is well-presented, and is offered for sale including floor coverings, curtains and appliances as fitted. It would be equally suitable as a permanent residence or as a holiday-letting apartment.

Externally the property is low-maintenance, with modern uPVC double-glazing throughout.

The ground / first floor maisonette, Uppness, 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.

Viewing is recommended.
