No5 Branksea Close

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Branksea Close is a quiet, pedestrian-only close of eight houses built in the 1960s and arranged around a shared amenity area. It is situated off Church Road, just a short level walk to the harbour and many amenities Hugh Town offers.

This low-maintenance South-facing property has been well-maintained and improved by the present owner, including new bathroom, flooring, efficient “Rointe” electric heating and some replacement double-glazing. It offers well-presented family accommodation, with the benefit of garden to the rear.

Ownership and occupation of the property are subject to restrictive covenants imposed by the Council of the Isles of Scilly, when the property was first sold. It must be occupied as a residence, and not for business purposes, and disposal must be to a person who shall have had for at least three years prior to purchase (or three out of the past ten years) their permanent residence or shall have carried on a trade within the area administered by the Council of the Isles of Scilly. 

In summary, a well-presented and well-located family home. Viewing recommended
