Shearwater is an attractive, Grade-II Listed property, forming part of what is arguably the finest terrace of stone-built houses on the islands. Ideally situated, overlooking Hugh Town’s central “park”, Shearwater is equidistant (2 mins walk in each direction) from the popular Porthcressa and Town beaches, and within a short walk of the harbour, shops, banks, pubs, restaurants and many other amenities the town offers. Reputedly the home of a Scillonian Sea Captain in years gone by, Shearwater was run successfully as a guest house for many years, and is tastefully decorated throughout. For 2017, it is offered for the first time as a self-catering property for up to 10 guests - perfectly for large family groups and clubs. All bedrooms have TVs and independently controlled electric wall heaters. All 5 ensuite shower rooms are modern and finished to the same style throughout the guest accommodation. There is one ground floor bedroom, and four further bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen has been re-fitted this year, and includes a double width range cooker - perfect for large groups! Other appliances include microwave oven, fridge and freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. To the rear of the property is a sunny courtyard garden, with facilities for outdoor dining for 10, and relaxing, and a rear access leading out onto Porthcressa Beach, just a few yards away.
