Pilot's Gig Flat

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Pilot’s Gig Flat is situated on The Bank, a central location within Hugh Town, the “capital” of St Mary’s, and therefore close to all the shops, restaurants, banks, Post office, harbour and other amenities on offer.

Positioned at the head of St Marys Quay, the apartment enjoys a wonderful outlook across to the off-islands of Samson, Bryher and Tresco. It is built above the popular Pilot’s Gig Restaurant, from which it takes its name, having independent access via a pedestrian pathway between the surrounding properties.

Pilot’s Gig Flat has been operated for many years as a successful “Four Star” self-catering holiday let. The vendor chooses to let the property from April to September each year, although the letting season could no doubt be extended further into the shoulder periods. It produces a gross annual income of approximately £12,000 based on tariffs ranging from £445 to £550 per week.

This low-maintenance property with modern uPVC double-glazing throughout, is offered for sale fully furnished and equipped – a detailed inventory will be made available prior to sale. Viewing highly recommended.
