6 Springfield Court
Church Street
St. Mary's
Isles of Scilly
TR21 0JT

This flat forms part of a building which was originally built as a number of impressive three storey granite built town houses. Many years ago they were converted to “Springfield Hotel” and in more recent years converted again to provide a number of spacious flats arranged on three floors. Some of the flats are permanent homes whilst others are let as holiday homes.

The flats are arranged in groups of three, each group having its own separate access. The ground floor flats are approached from the front whilst the first and second floor flats are approached from the rear.

Flat 6 occupies a position on the centre floor and thus has the advantage of additional protection and insulation from the flats above and below and to either side.

As can be seen from the Photograph, a particular feature of Flat 6 is its large square first floor bay window which gives the opportunity for panoramic views up and down Church Street from the lounge whilst at the rear there are sea glimpses across to the islands of Tresco and Bryher from the bedroom.



All flats at Springfield Court, and Flat 6 is no exception, have large spacious rooms with high ceilings associated with the period.

We have priced this flat at a figure which allows the purchaser to carry out various improvement works in decor etc. should they wish to.

The approach to the first and second floor flats is via a vehicular driveway which passes down the side of Springfield Court. A short footpath then leads along the rear of the property and at various points three external staircases give access to the first and second floors. Flat 6 is approached from the second staircase which leads through a partly glazed door into:
