Oystercatcher

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Godolphin House, a purpose built block of flats, is situated on Church Road on the outskirts of Hugh Town, and therefore just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that Hugh Town offers. It is, however, away from the noise associated with a town centre location and thus ideally situated either as a permanent residence or for holiday letting / second home use.

The property has been operated as a holiday letting apartment for many years, having a Visit Britain “Four Star” grading. It typically lets for around 25 weeks per annum (excluding owner’s weeks), achieving a gross income of around £21,400 per annum in 2023.

The property was upgraded some years ago, and has been maintained to a good standard since, having quality oak doors throughout. It is offered for sale complete with furniture, fixtures and fittings and the benefit of forward holiday lettings if required. Alternatively it will be available at the end of the season on a vacant possession basis.

Viewing recommended.
