All at Sea

Full Description

‘All at Sea’ is a lock-up shop located at the junction of Buzza Street and Church Street, approximately 250 metres from the centre of Hugh Town. The shop has been operated by the vendors, as a successful, nautically themed craft shop, on a seasonal basis over several years. The property is located on the main road into Hugh Town, and enjoys a brisk passing trade by the large number of visitors that make their way daily, to and from the Harbour Area.

Originally built as a retail outlet for a local photographer, the property would suit a variety of uses, subject to the appropriate consents.
