The opportunity has arisen to purchase this exciting property that offers many options to a new purchaser. Carn Ithen is currently run as spacious accommodation for the owners combined with a two en-suite bedroomed Self Catering annex that creates a not insignificant income. This situation could be changed to a sizable four bedroomed family home by simply unlocking a connecting door.
The property sits in a very decent sized plot offering large front and rear gardens together with a semi detached garage/studio/workshop/storage shed. The rear garden is accessed via a side gate from the driveway or through an east facing sun lounge from the property. The area is quite secluded and is sectioned to offer different aspects to the garden including a fish pond and a Summerhouse. The garage, studio/workshop and garden storage unit can be accessed from the rear garden via a verandah walkway.
Carn Ithen, just a stones throw from Old Town beach, offers some stunning views towards Pulpit Rock, Old Town Church and Carn Lea to the South and West, and over some of the most beautiful meadowed areas of St Mary’s to the North and East giving the occupants the best the islands have to offer from this very sought after location.
