Double glazing

Freesia
The Parade
St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly

A most attractive and elegant Grade II listed granite built property.

Built in excess of a hundred years ago and known for many years as Stanmore House, the property was purchased by the present Owner, a well respected local builder, four years ago and at that time was virtually completely rebuilt within the external walls of the original house, indeed everything was removed with the exception of the original staircases.

The present Owners changed the name to Freesia Guest House and have built up an excellent bed and breakfast business.

Only by an internal inspection can the immaculate way in which the property is presented and it’s excellent furnishings, fittings and decoration be fully appreciated.

At present there are four guest bedrooms sleeping eight together with a fully self contained one bedroomed Owner’s accommodation. The layout of the house would enable a new owner to easily extend the Owner’s accommodation to two bedroomed or indeed, subject to planning consent, to extend at first floor level over an existing flat roof.

As mentioned previously, the furnishings and fittings are of a very high standard and only a few years old, bedroom accommodation includes colour televisions, tea and coffee making facilities and mini refrigerators. The Guest House has recently been awarded a four diamond accreditation by Visit Britain together with an additional silver award.

Freesia is situated within Hugh Town and is part of the small but busy community and is thus very convenient for all of the town’s facilities including the Harbour Quay which is only a few minutes walk away.

NOTES TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SALE PARTICULARS OF:
FREESIA GUEST HOUSE
ST. MARY’S
ISLES OF SCILLY.

JANUARY 2008

Commencing this winter the Vendor of Freesia Guest House has commenced building work to re design the rear section of the ground floor of the property in order to provide a fully self contained one bedroomed Owners’ apartment. To achieve this it means the loss of one letting bedroom but will result in an excellent layout to accommodate Owners whilst retaining a lucrative guest house business in the same building.

Island Properties have made alterations to the sale particulars to reflect these changes.

Even after completion of the new works a Purchaser will still have other options in so much as the Vendor at this stage has decided not to fit out the new kitchen as a Purchaser may wish to retain the existing kitchen (as shown on the sale particulars) and to use the newly formed kitchen as a second bedroom within the Owner’s accommodation. Otherwise the new kitchen can be fitted to a Purchaser’s specification and the kitchen as existing can be stripped out thus producing a study or laundry room for the sole use of the Owners.

A little difficult to explain we appreciate but an internal viewing would make everything clear!
