Pine Lodge
£625,000 ono : 4 bedrooms
Tenure: Freehold

This spacious split level detached residence was built approximately 45 years ago and occupies an enviable position in a quiet cul de sac on the eastern side of Hugh Town - a few minutes walk from shops and all island amenities. In addition, the property is only a few hundred yards from one of the most popular beaches on the island of St. Mary’s and there are panoramic views across Porthmellon beach to the islands of Tresco and Bryher from many of the property’s windows. In more recent years virtually all the windows and doors of the property have been replaced with UPVC double glazing.

A viewing of the property will immediately make clear to any interested parties the excellent specification and construction. The architect design has cleverly made use of
the sloping site resulting in a house of family proportions with attractive features both internally and externally. The room layout on the ground floor and the present two way access to the house make an easy option (subject to any necessary planning consents) to divide the ground floor thus forming a self contained annex ideal for holiday letting or separate family accommodation.

The first impression of this property is that of a “Swiss chalet” being designed with its gable elevation to the road and this attractive feature, together with the thoughtful use of
natural materials including granite, white rendering and dark timber, complemented also by a full width first floor balcony all combining to produce an individual residence of some charm and character.

The property is bounded from Jackson’s Hill by a high granite wall which, as well as providing an attractive entrance, has the practical effect of being the retaining wall for the sloping concrete pathways and drive which gives access to the front of the house.

The accommodation comprises:
A Georgian style UPVC door with double glazed side lights
leads into:
Central Reception Hall 13’10” x 6’5” plus a recess for coat
hanging space. Double panelled radiator. Four recessed
ceiling down lighters. Two power points.

At the far end of the reception hall, through a feature arch, is a circular stairwell having sculptured walls and a spiral staircase of solid granite treads cantilevered into the wall. Concealed fluorescent lighting is hidden under a circular pelmet.

French doors to the full width front balcony. An undoubted feature of this room is the mock fireplace which is set into a

Outside As previously mentioned the approach from Jackson’s Hill is via a concrete driveway and steps at the side of the house lead up to the upper ground floor level and thence the garden. Having a length of approximately 105’0” and a width of approximately 43’0” the garden is laid to terraces which we feel sure will be a delight to any aspiring gardener. Pathways wind their way through an irregular shaped naturally stocked borders having many varieties of sub tropical shrubs, flowers and trees. There are three grassed areas together with a secluded and paved patio area which we are told is a veritable sun trap.

There are two timber garden sheds, one to the side of the house and one at the top of the garden.
