Full Description
OVERVIEWLittle Porth is a quiet, residential area on the edge of Hugh Town, just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, banks, post office, harbour and other amenities the town offers yet away from the noise associated with a town centre location.
The ever-popular Porthcressa Beach is just a minute’s stroll from the property, and being south-facing, it enjoys excellent natural light throughout the day, with a partial sea view between the beachside bungalows. The property has high ceilings and low-maintenance uPVC fenestration, with triple-glazing to the front.
In summary, a well-presented and well-located apartment. Viewing highly recommended
