Flat Six, Moonrakers

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Moonrakers is situated on Garrison Lane, in an elevated position just below the historic Garrison Walls. Originally a large guest house, the property was converted into six apartments in 1975/6. 

Moonrakers has attractive mature gardens for the shared use of residents, enjoying a sunny South-Easterly aspect with impressive views across St Marys Harbour, Hugh Town and around to Peninnis Head.

Perfectly located for use as a main residence, or for holiday home / self-catering purposes, it is within a short walk of all the amenities of Hugh Town, yet away from any noise associated with a town centre location.

No6 is situated towards the rear of the building. It has been maintained to a good standard throughout, and benefits from replacement kitchen and part-replaced double glazing.

Moonrakers is owned and managed by a management company, of which each flat is a director. The property has been maintained to a high standard, with upgraded electrics including new mains feeds, fire alarms, switchgear and replacement consumer units. 

In summary, an excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive, low-maintenance property garden flat situated in a well-managed block. Viewing highly recommended.
