Strand House

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Strand House is ideally situated on Lower Strand, close to the centre of Hugh Town and within a short walking distance of the shops, restaurants, public houses, harbour and many other amenities Hugh Town offers. 

Originally the home of a master shipwright, this south-facing property underwent comprehensive refurbishment & renovation some years ago, and has been maintained to a high standard since, offering the discerning purchaser bright and airy, centrally-heated accommodation of great style. It has an attractive beachside garden, with views across St Marys Harbour.

The property will be sold fully furnished & equipped, inclusive of quality oak furniture, furnishings, white goods, TVs and electronics.
The ground floor throughout, and bathrooms and en-suite shower rooms on the upper floors, have oak laminate flooring, whilst the bedrooms, landings and stairs are carpeted. Quality bathroom suites have been used throughout, and all bathrooms are fully tiled in white with contrasting mosaic detailing.
The property has been successfully operated for many years as a holiday let, achieving excellent occupancy rates of around 25 weeks per annum, with a gross income in the region of £64,000. Viewing highly recommended.
