Location

Discover the Isles of Scilly, a hidden gem off the coast of Cornwall! As beautiful as anywhere you will find in the Caribbean or Mediterranean, these stunning islands offer crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and lush landscapes. Just a short flight or ferry ride from Penzance, the Isles of Scilly are the perfect paradise right on our doorstep.
St. Mary's is the largest and most populated island in the Isles of Scilly. It serves as the central hub of the islands, boasting the main harbour, and is also the administrative and commercial heart. St. Mary's is known for its stunning landscapes, with sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, and picturesque coastal paths. Visitors can explore historical sites like Star Castle and the ancient burial chambers at Bant's Carn. The island's mild climate and diverse flora and fauna make it a unique and appealing destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. In terms of amenities, you will find a number of charming local shops, public houses, and restaurants.

The Property

As you approach the property along Church Street, its kerb appeal is undeniable. The front stone elevation, adorned with finely crafted cut granite lintels and quoins, and traditional-style box sash windows, exudes character and charm. The entrance to this middle-floor apartment is from the rear.
The property boasts the wonderful features typical of Victorian homes: generous room sizes, high ceilings, and distinctive windows. You enter into a welcoming entrance hall, historically used as a small dining area due to its proximity to the kitchen. The kitchen, located at the rear of the flat, offers views towards the harbour. Our favourite room is the sitting room, which features a large window providing a very pleasant view up and down Church Street. Both bedrooms are of a good size, and there is also a bathroom. The very spacious hallway also has an area which could perhaps be used as a home office. The accommodation would benefit from updating throughout but is brimming with untapped potential and ripe for transformation. In the world of real estate, terms such as "prime location" and "great potential" are often overused, yet for this particular property, they are truly fitting. What an opportunity!
