No4 Telegraph Bungalows

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

No4 Telegraph Bungalows is situated in the Telegraph area of St Marys, a small residential settlement located approximately 1½ miles from Hugh Town, the tiny “capital” of St Mary’s with its shops, schools, banks, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities. The property is just a short stroll from Bants Carn ancient village, a local beauty spot, the small harbour at Pendrethen, and some of the finest views on Scilly.

The property is situated on Telegraph Road, having a westerly aspect with pleasing views across farmland to the sea beyond.

No4 Telegraph Bungalows offers well-proportioned accommodation, including a well-fitted modern kitchen, although it would benefit from a light scheme of refurbishment. Fenestration is in wooden, double-glazed units. A large attic space offers potential for conversion into additional accommodation, with wonderful views, subject to the necessary consents.

Viewing recommended.
