Men a Vaur

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Men a Vaur, named after the impressive Rock guarding the Northern approaches to Scilly, is situated on Church Road, just a short level walk to the harbour and many amenities Hugh Town offers.

The property was originally built in the late 1960’s, and subsequently extended and improved in the late 1990’s, including the creation of second floor accommodation in the roofspace, reconfiguration of the internal accommodation and the construction of a garden room.

Men a Vaur has the benefit of AGA oil-fired range cooker, which can also supply hot water, and uPVC double glazing throughout. The property is now in need of a scheme of refurbishment, including redecoration throughout and clearance of the extensive garden. It offers the potential purchaser the opportunity to acquire a fine family home, or business (subject to the necessary consents).

All main repairs, however, will be completed by the vendors prior to the completion of a sale. Full details of these works are available from the vendor’s sole agents, Sibleys.

Offered for sale, with no onward chain. Viewing highly recommended.
