Full Description
OVERVIEWGanilly is situated on Jackson’s Hill, a quiet cul de sac on the eastern side of Hugh Town. It is a detached property arranged as upper and lower maisonettes, designed to suit the sloping hillside site and to take advantage of the sea and island views.
Lower Ganilly, as the name suggests, is on the ground floor with private garden overlooking St Marys Harbour. The accommodation is generous and enjoys good natural daylight, with oblique sea views from the living room and bedrooms.
It has been used for many years as a holiday let, achieving good occupancy rates at tariffs ranging from £535 (low season) to £1,355 (high season) per week. Letting details can be viewed at: https://www.scillyselfcatering.com/Property.aspx?itemid=211. Alternatively it would make a perfect permanent home.
The property is being sold fully furnished & equipped, including the benefit of future holiday bookings if required. With its spacious accommodation, great location and sea views we have no hesitation in recommending an early viewing.
