6 Spanish Ledge

Full Description

 OVERVIEW

Spanish Ledge is an attractive, granite-built property, comprising a pair of substantial terraced houses. Originally run as a guest house, the property was converted into holiday flats some years ago.

It is centrally situated within Hugh Town, St Mary’s tiny “capital”, and is therefore well located for the shops, Post Office, public houses, restaurants and many other amenities the town offers. Town Beach, Porthcressa Beach and St Mary’s Harbour are all within a short distance of the property.

Crow’s Nest is on the second floor, overlooking the park. It has been well maintained and upgraded in recent years, with modern kitchen and shower room, new furniture and replacement beds. The flat is freshly decorated for the 2023 season.

The flat has been successfully operated as a holiday letting apartment in recent years, achieving excellent occupancy rates and gross income in the region of £18,000 for the 2022 season (including some out-of-season bookings). The benefit of future bookings / reservations will be transferred with the property, as will all furniture, fixtures and fittings.

Viewing recommended.
