Full Description
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION‘Auriga’ is a substantial semi-detached house located within the heart of Hugh Town within a ‘stone’s throw’ of the ever-popular Porthcressa Beach. The local shops, Post Office and Public Houses are situated within a short walk of the property, as is the harbour area.
The area surrounding the ever-popular Porthcressa Beach, just a few metres from the property, has recently been the subject of a £4million regeneration project, with improved public walkways, landscaped gardens and new amenity buildings.
The property is currently used as the owner’s home together with a successful holiday letting apartment, although it could easily be reinstated as a substantial family home, to its former use as a bed & breakfast establishment, or as a home with annex to accommodate an extended family.
The property is offered for sale with all carpets & curtains where fitted, and with appliances as stated. The self-catering apartment is fully furnished. Early viewing recommended.
