Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Trevessa is an attractive, Grade-II Listed property, forming part of what is arguably the finest terrace of stone-built houses on the islands. Ideally situated for its use as a holiday letting property (though equally suitable as a permanent residence), overlooking Hugh Town’s central “park”, Trevessa is equidistant from the popular Porthcressa and Town beaches, and within a short walk of the harbour, shops, banks, pubs, restaurants and many other amenities the town offers.

Bought by the present owners in 2008, Trevessa has been run successfully as a holiday letting property since, having a “Three Star” grading from Visit England / AA. Tariffs range from £590 to £1,395 per week. The property lets well, producing a gross income of £19,500 in 2017. Accounts will be made available to serious interested purchasers who have viewed the property.

The guest house is offered for sale fully furnished, complete with white goods, carpets and curtains as fitted. It is fitted with oil-fired central heating. An inventory will be prepared prior to sale. Viewing highly recommended.
