2 Silver Street

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Silver Street is situated in the heart of Hugh Town, opposite the Foredeck boutique and within a short walk from the banks, shops, restaurants, public houses, Post Office, harbour and many other amenities the town offers.

The area surrounding the ever-popular Porthcressa Beach, just a few metres from the property, has recently been the subject of a £4million pound regeneration project, with improved public walkways, landscaped gardens and new amenity buildings.

Built in the mid 1970’s as part of a development of nine townhouses, by celebrated local builder Roy Mitchell, No2 Silver Street has the added benefit of a one-bedroom annex. Interior-designed by the current owner, award-winning architect Barry Coupe, the property provides spacious, stylish accommodation in immaculate condition throughout.

Operated as a successful holiday let, No2 Silver Street typically rents for between 20 and 26 weeks each year, producing a gross income of approximately £33,600 per annum, based on peak weekly rentals of £2,500 per week. Further information available on the owner’s website, https://silverstreetscilly.co.uk/

The annex makes the property ideal for occupation by families with dependent relatives, or indeed teenage children. Prospective purchasers should note that it cannot be occupied as an entirely separate dwelling.

Offered complete with all carpets and curtains as fitted. All other furniture and fittings, with the exception of a number of personal effects, available by separate negotiation. Viewing highly recommended.
