A pretty terraced cottage which forms part of a row of traditional Scillonian cottages in central St. Mary's probably built over 300 years ago.

Although retaining many original features, including a wonderful inglenook fireplace, Tean is not listed and has no conditions to limit its use. Thus the purchaser can enjoy a comfortable and convenient home or an easy to let holiday cottage attracting a good level of rental income.

Other refurbishments in Tean include the provision of a new well fitted kitchen and a boarded and well insulated loft space.
