Guthers

Full Description

GENERAL

Guthers is situated in an elevated position at the crest of a hill on the outskirts of Hugh Town, and just 500m from the tiny “capital” of St Mary’s with its shops & restaurants, pubs, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities. 

The property has a North-Easterly aspect, with views across the Lower Moors and across Porthmellon Bay towards Tresco. A glimpse of the sea across Old Town is also visible from the upper floor. The property enjoys excellent natural light levels throughout and would be equally suitable for use as a main residence or holiday home.
 
The property has modern oil-fired central heating, and some replacement uPVC double-glazed windows, with the original single-glazed casements elsewhere. The property offers extensive family accommodation, with generous room sizes, and the benefit of extensive gardens and off-street car parking. It is now in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout – a perfect blank canvas to create a bespoke home.
 
Viewing highly recommended.
