We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare opportunity to acquire Ice Cottage, a detached three-bedroom home ideally located just moments from Town Beach on the beautiful island of St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly.
This spacious property offers three generous double bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a large kitchen positioned to the rear—perfect for family living or entertaining.
Both the ground and first floors feature large bathrooms, providing flexibility and comfort for modern living.
At the back, you'll find a private rear garden and a substantial workshop, offering excellent potential for home working, or creative use.
All rear-facing windows enjoy stunning sea views across the beach and harbour, bringing natural beauty into daily life.
Whilst the property requires modernisation throughout, it represents a fantastic opportunity to create a bespoke island retreat or family home.
With strong potential to add value, Ice Cottage is ideal for buyers looking to invest in a lifestyle of coastal tranquillity. Properties in this prime location rarely become available.
Early viewing is highly recommended. Living here means embracing the idyllic island lifestyle—morning walks on sandy beaches, fresh sea air, and a close-knit community.
The nearby Town Beach invites swimming, sailing, and water sports, while local cafes, shops, and amenities are just a short stroll away.
Easily accessible from the mainland, the Isles of Scilly is a perfect haven for those craving a slower pace of life without sacrificing convenience.
