6 Buzza Street
St. Mary’s
Isles of Scilly TR21 0HX

Buzza Street is a road linking Church Street with Porthcressa beach and consists primarily of two terraces of typical Cornish / Scillonian cottages on either side of the road. All of the cottages appear to be constructed of solid granite walls surmounted by slated roofs and some, number 6 included, have been rendered externally.

Built in the late 18th century / early 19th century, in more recent years additions have been made to the rear of the house to include a large working kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet and various improvements have taken place within the main house whilst retaining many of the original cottage features. It is worth noting that other cottages in Buzza Street have made similar alterations, additions and improvements including, subject to planning consents, extensions into the roof space with the addition of dormer windows.

It is suggested that the cottage would make an ideal family home having good accommodation and a pleasant rear garden area fully enclosed with direct access which then is only some 100 yards away from the most popular Porthcressa Bay. The town with it’s many facilities together with St. Mary’s harbour are also a few minutes walk.
