Full Description
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
‘The Mizzen’ is located on the second floor of ‘Harbour Lights’, a period granite property fronting Town Beach and St. Mary’s Harbour. The development is centrally located, in a quiet backwater known locally as ‘Thorofare,’ and is within a short walk of the local shops and restaurants, harbour area and ever-popular Town beach.
Originally a large guest house, the property was tastefully converted into apartments in 1987 and renamed ‘Harbour Lights’. The planning permission was granted on the basis that the apartments were not to be used for permanent occupation, and they have therefore been used since as highly successful holiday letting businesses and second homes.
The Mizzen enjoys a sunny, southerly aspect and is offered for sale fully furnished & equipped. It is in excellent decorative order throughout having been totally remodelled and refurbished in Winter 2006.
The current owners operate the property as an extremely successful seasonal self-catering apartment, and regularly achieve up to 28 weeks occupation per annum. The apartment has a four-star ‘Enjoy England’ grading.
Trading accounts will be made available to seriously interested parties who have viewed the property.
