Why You'll Like It
Offered with no onward chain, Clarence House is in a fabulous location in the heart of Hugh Town on St Mary's. Close top the shops, restaurants and pubs as well as the beaches it is an ideal spot for a home, holiday home, investment or guest house. The property has been carefully maintained over the years and is available complete with fixtures and fittings and most of the furniture. We love the central location and the sheltered enclosed courtyard rear garden.
Island Living
The Isles of Scilly are a stunning archipelago off the South West tip of Cornwall offering a unique way of life for islanders and visitors alike. Surrounded by nature, the white sands are lapped by the clear Atlantic Ocean. There is much to do on St Mary's with its small but bustling community and the good selection of cafes, restaurants, hotels, banks and shops. Facilities include a golf course, airport and hospital. The newly built Five Islands School provides education and there is also a health centre.
