Upper Jacksons

Full Description

OVERVIEW

Upper Jacksons is situated on Jacksons Hill, a private cul-de-sac located on the outskirts of Hugh Town above Porthmellon Beach. It is just a short walk from the harbour, beaches and amenities of Hugh Town, yet away from the noise associated with a town centre location.

Situated on the upper floor of a modern, detached property, Upper Jacksons enjoys sea and island views, bright & airy living spaces, full-width balcony and a delightful terraced garden, well-screened from its neighbours. A perfect main residence, second home or holiday let.

The property has modern efficient electric heating and low-maintenance uPVC double glazing throughout. All lighting has been replaced with low-energy LED units. Prior to sale the balcony will be overhauled and re-decked with a replacement staircase installed. The decking area outside the kitchen will also be renewed ready for the next owner to enjoy.

Viewing highly recommended.
