No10 Springfield Court

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Originally a terrace of three-storey granite townhouses, and later operated as “The Springfield Hotel”, Springfield Court was converted into flats in the 1970s.

No10 Springfield Court is situated on the second floor, spanning two of the original houses, with access from the rear of the property. The windows in this low-maintenance property have been replaced in recent years, using modern uPVC double-glazed units on the seaward side, with replacement sliding sash windows on the Church Street elevation.

Because of its elevated position, it enjoys excellent panoramic sea views across St Marys harbour to the off-islands beyond, stretching from Samson in the west to Round Island in the north.

No10 has been used as a second home / holiday let for many years, and is offered for sale fully furnished & equipped, complete with forward bookings should a potential purchaser wish to carry on letting. 2013 weekly tariffs range from £275 off-peak to £775 peak. Gross income for the year April 2011/12 was £12,600.

Sensibly priced for an early sale, we have no hesitation in recommending an early viewing.
