No1 Bay View Terrace

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Bay View Terrace is an attractive terrace of six houses, having a sunny South-Westerly aspect, bringing wonderful natural light into the generously sized reception rooms. The property is situated on the outskirts of Hugh Town in an elevated position within easy walking distance of the town’s amenities, beaches and St Mary’s Harbour. A private path runs from the end of the terrace down to Porthmellon Beach - perfect for a swim or a sundowner drink.

No1 is a double-fronted end-of-terrace house, situated closest to the beach, having a private rear courtyard, large garage / workshop and traditional greenhouse. An adjoining area of garden land has historically been rented from the Duchy of Cornwall, with the option to purchase.

The property has a wealth of original features, including high ceilings, panelled doors, attractive staircase, fireplaces in several rooms and some beamed ceilings. The property is now in need of refurbishment to bring it up to a high modern standard, thus allowing a purchaser to stamp their own personality on this attractive house. It also has a large attic space with conversion potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Viewing highly recommended.
