Bank Cottage

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Bank Cottage, as its name implies, is situated on “The Bank”, a town-centre square literally yards from the Quay. As such, the property is conveniently situated for all the facilities the town offers, and for onward travel to the mainland and off-islands.

Probably built in the early 1800’s, this traditional cottage is constructed of local granite, with a natural slate roof. The original timber windows have been replaced with low-maintenance uPVC.

The property is now in need of upgrading throughout to realise its full potential. A perfect opportunity to create a lovely family home which reflects the purchaser’s individual taste.

Realistically priced for an early sale. Viewing recommended.
