Drift

Full Description

GENERAL

Rams Valley, a quiet private cul de sac on the lower slopes of Buzza Hill, is just a short level walk from the many amenities Hugh Town offers, and the ever-popular Porthcressa Bay.

Originally built in the mid 1960s, the roofspace was converted some 20 years ago into a large master bedroom with en-suite shower room. 

This low maintenance property has uPVC double-glazed windows throughout, and plastic fascias and soffits. The heating system has recently been replaced with highly-efficient, programmable “Haverland” electric radiators, and also benefits from a 1.29Kw photo-voltaic array on the south-facing roofslope. This produces a tax-free FIT-tariff income of around £500 per annum. The contract stays with the property and has around 15 years to run.

Drift is offered for sale in excellent decorative order throughout, complete with carpets and curtains as fitted.
