Flat Three Field House

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Field House is a substantial three-storey detached Edwardian House located on Church Street, a short level walk from the centre of Hugh Town. The property has been sympathetically sub-divided into just three units, one on each floor. 

No3 is situated on the second (attic) floor, through a stairwell shared with one other flat. It is available for the first time in 33 years, having been in the same ownership since the house was first sub-divided.

The area is extremely popular with residents and visitors alike, due to its close proximity to the amenities of Hugh Town and the Harbour area. 

The flat has much character, and enjoys excellent natural light throughout. It has a bright and airy feel, and is offered for sale in good order throughout. In summary, a well-presented property in a desirable location – viewing highly recommended.
