Raveen

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

‘Raveen’ is a traditional granite built, mid-terrace Scillonian Cottage, located within the heart of Hugh Town, within a stones throw of Town Beach & the Harbour Area. Built in the early nineteenth century and named after a distinctive rock at the mouth of Porthcressa Bay, the property is Grade II listed and enjoys a wealth of character features and local history. We understand that the property was constructed by a local shipwright and operated as a Public House up until 1913, going by the name of the ‘Hope & Anchor’.

The property is in reasonable decorative order throughout, but would benefit from some modernization & reorganization. It offers comfortable family accommodation, and is offered for sale with all curtains & floor coverings where fitted.

Early viewing highly recommended.
