3 Porthcressa View
St. Mary's
Isles of Scilly
TR21 0PZ

Built approximately thirty years ago this house is situated together with other similar properties in a small development which occupies the site between Silver Street and Porthcressa View / Little Porth. It is thus very convenient for all amenities within Hugh Town and is only approximately fifty yards from the very popular Porthcressa Beach and some 200 yards from St. Mary's Harbour.

It was built using a pleasant combination of local granite and vertical slate work to the front elevation resulting in what is generally thought to be a pleasant facade to this part of Silver Street.

At the rear of the property and fully enclosed by it's neighbours is a pedestrian patio precinct which is an amenity shared in common with the adjoining owners and comprising pathways and raised flower beds and an ornamental pond.

In more recent years, for ease of maintenance, the owners have installed all UPVC double glazed windows and doors together with UPVC guttering and soffets and facia boarding.


We would suggest that this house would make a fine family home or alternatively should produce an excellent income from holiday lettings. The property is offered for sale together with the carpets and floor coverings as fitted together with the curtains and light fittings and certain items of furniture remaining.
