9 Godolphin House

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Godolphin House, a purpose built block of flats, is situated on Church Road on the outskirts of Hugh Town, and therefore just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, public houses, beaches, harbour and other amenities that Hugh Town offers. It is, however, away from the noise associated with a town centre location and thus ideally situated either as a permanent residence or for holiday letting / second home use.

The property would benefit from some internal upgrading to achieve its full potential.
