A spacious individually designed detached family home planned and built by the present Owner in 2001/2002.
Constructed to an excellent standard with particular attention being paid to internal finishes. All windows and doors are of UPVC double glazed construction, all internal doors are antique pine panelled and are complimented by antique pine skirtings and architraves. The electrical specification is well thought out including under floor central heating to part of the property and a multi-room audio system.
The property is situated fronting the unmade roadway called McFarlands Down which also gives access to approximately twenty other similar detached houses and bungalows. McFarlands Down forms a small individual development located close to Telegraph, the highest point of St. Mary’s Island. This small settlement of houses is surrounded on all sides by open farmland and is, quite literally, only five minutes walk from the coast and almost adjoining the golf course. Indeed there are sea views from one of the upstairs bedrooms and the lounge.
Hugh Town, the major settlement of St. Mary’s Islands is approximately two miles away and there can be found the main harbour, shopping facilities, schools, churches etc. The design of Summertime is that of a dormer bungalow and it stands back approximately thirty feet from the roadway, the front elevation somewhat belies the accommodation provided as can be seen as you read through these sales particulars.
