6 Silver Street

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Silver Street is situated in the heart of Hugh Town, opposite the Foredeck boutique and within a short walk from the banks, shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities the town offers.

The area surrounding the ever-popular Porthcressa Beach, just a few metres from the property, has recently been the subject of a £4 million regeneration project, with improved public walkways, landscaped gardens and new amenity buildings.

Built in the mid 1970’s as part of a development of twelve townhouses, by celebrated local builder Roy Mitchell, No6 Silver Street was originally built as a three-bedroom one-bathroom property. The present owners converted the third bedroom into a second bathroom, although it could easily be converted back into a bedroom if required.

Offered fully furnished, complete with all carpets and curtains as fitted, making this a turn-key opportunity. Ideal as a second home, letting investment, or indeed as a main residence. Viewing highly recommended.
