Parkside

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Parkside is situated in the heart of Hugh Town, overlooking the small park, and within a short walk from the banks, shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities the town offers. The popular Porthcressa and Town beaches are both within a minute’s walk of the property.

Parkside is a traditional, double-fronted granite cottage, offering bright accommodation of much character, with its beamed ceilings, sliding sash windows and exposed granite internally. The property previously had planning permission for a first floor extension (now lapsed) for a first floor extension to accommodate an upstairs bathroom. Subject to the necessary consents, we see no reason why a similar scheme could not be carried out.

The property is now offered for sale, complete with all carpets and curtains as fitted, and with the main kitchen appliances and white goods included. An ideal second home, letting investment, or indeed as a main residence. Viewing highly recommended.
