Description 

Welcome to 5 Bay View Terrace, a spacious and light-filled family home on the beautiful island of St Mary’s, the heart of the Isles of Scilly. This inviting house combines the ease of modern comfort with the charm of a traditional island home, creating a place where you can truly unwind and feel at ease.

Step through the front door and you will find generous rooms, high ceilings, and thoughtful touches throughout. The lounge is perfect for quiet evenings with family or friends, with large windows that fill the space with soft island light. The original fireplaces add a touch of history and character, serving as gentle reminders of the home’s story.

The traditional kitchen is warm and welcoming, fully equipped for relaxed family meals or long breakfasts before the day begins. The adjoining utility and boot room keeps things practical and makes it easy to come and go after a walk or a day at the beach.

Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer flexibility for couples, friends, or families. The master double bedroom enjoys views across St Mary’s harbour, a lovely sight to wake up to as the boats drift gently on the water. The second bedroom can be set up as a super king or twin room, while the third has cosy bunk beds perfect for younger guests. Two bathrooms, one on each floor, make sharing easy and comfortable for everyone.

Outside, across the quiet track from the house, a large south-facing garden catches the sunshine throughout the day. It is a peaceful place to sit with a book, enjoy a drink and alfresco dining, or simply listen to the sound of the sea.

The location could not be better. In just a minute’s stroll your feet will be on the soft golden sand of Porthmellon Beach, where you can start your morning with a swim, watch the tides change, or wander along the shore as the sun sets. The harbour and the centre of Hugh Town are both within walking distance, with local cafés, shops, and restaurants ready to welcome you. From the quay, boats depart daily to the other islands, each with its own charm and landscape waiting to be discovered.

Whether you are visiting for adventure or relaxation, 5 Bay View Terrace offers the perfect setting. It is a home where you can breathe out, slow down, and savour the rhythm of island life. With its peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful details, and beautiful location, it is a place that invites you to settle in and feel instantly at home.
