Full Description
OVERVIEWNo6 Myrtle Cottages is one of four semi-detached homes built in the early 1970’s in a quiet pedestrian location between Garrison lane and Parsons Field. As such it is within the heart of Hugh Town, close to the many amenities on offer, and yet detached from the noise associated with a central location. The harbour and quay are within a couple of minutes’ walk, ideal for trips to the off-islands, whilst the ever popular Porthcressa Beach is also just minutes away.
In recent years the property has been used for holiday letting purposes, although it would be equally suitable as a main residence. It lets for between 25 and 30 weeks each year, at tariffs ranging from £700 low season to £1,200 high season.
This low-maintenance property has uPVC double-glazing throughout, with recently installed efficient “Rointe” electric radiators. It is offered for sale fully furnished & equipped. Enjoying sea views from the master bedroom, dedicated off-street car parking, and patio gardens front and rear (catching both morning and afternoon sunshine), viewing is recommended.
