The Loft

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Gorregan House is a substantial three-storey semi-detached Edwardian property located close to the centre of Hugh Town on Church Street. The property has been sub-divided into three flats arranged over the three floors. The Loft is, as its name suggests, located on the second (attic) floor of the property, enjoying views across the Chaplaincy gardens to the front, a sea glimpse towards Bryher, and rooftop views towards Buzza Tower to the rear. 

The area is extremely popular with residents and visitors alike, due to its close proximity to the amenities of Hugh Town and the Harbour area. The flat is currently let on a long-term basis, and would equally suit operation as a self-contained holiday apartment or full time home. Vacant possession will be offered on completion.

The lease prohibits use of the flat “other than as a private dwelling save that this shall not preclude the letting of the property for holiday purposes”. 

The Loft is responsible for 30% of the cost of maintaining & insuring the structure, roof and communal areas. A copy of the lease is available on request from the vendors’ sole agents.

The apartment is well-proportioned, and enjoys excellent natural light levels throughout. It has double-glazing throughout, and is being sold complete with carpets & curtains as fitted, and white goods.

Early viewing recommended.
