Roanoke

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Roanoke is situated in the heart of town, yet literally a stone’s throw from the beach. Banks, shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other Hugh Town amenities are a short stroll away.

Built in the early 1980’s, Roanoke comprises a three-storey townhouse, originally with integral garage, now converted into a useful utility area and home office. It is light and airy throughout, and enjoys excellent south-facing sea views across the bay. The owners have recently secured planning permission for a two-storey rear extension, which allows for enlarged living space as well as a fourth bedroom at ground floor level. Other improvements include enlarged fenestration, to maximise the benefit of the sea views. Copies of the plans are available from the agents.

The property is offered for sale in excellent decorative order, complete with carpets and curtains as fitted. It has low maintenance uPVC double glazing throughout, and modern efficient electric radiators. An excellent main residence, second home or investment property.

Realistically priced for an early sale, we have no hesitation in recommending an early viewing.
