St Hellena

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Named after one of the un-inhabited islands on the Northern fringe of Scilly, ‘Saint Hellena’ is a terraced house, arranged over three floors, located in a quiet position, in the heart of Hugh Town. The property is sufficiently removed from the main centre to avoid the hustle & bustle, but closer enough to allow easy & level access to the shops, harbour area and local beaches.

The property is currently operated as a successful Bed & Breakfast establishment
(www.sthellenascilly.co.uk), accommodating four guests and enjoying a steady seasonal trade with many repeat visitors (accounts can be made available to prospective purchasers following a viewing of the property). The house would equally suit full time occupation and make a pleasant family home.

The property is extremely well-presented inside and out & offers the prospective purchaser a ‘turn key’ situation. All windows (with the exception of the lounge sash) are constructed in low maintenance, double glazed uPVC.

In addition to the ample accommodation, the property enjoys a sunny rear garden & patio.

The asking price includes all floor coverings & curtaining. The Vendors are happy to discuss the supply of additional existing white goods & furnishings if required.

Early viewing highly recommended.
