A modern, granite semi-detached cottage in good condition throughout, available to rent on a yearly basis from 1st February 2006.

SITUATION Magnolia Cottage is situated on Rue Lucas, the road that leads from La Collenette crossroads at the top of the Harbour Hill on to the north of the island with roads along the way leading to the scenic areas of the south, east and west. The property is private while being very convenient for all of the island facilities. The rural and coastal walks of the island are all easily accessible as are the shops, churches and school.

  Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports. Flight time to Gatwick is about thirty minutes by jet.

SARK  Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars or tarmac roads and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities and telecommunications for residents and visitors alike. The only independent feudal state remaining in Europe, Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement.  Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants, and public houses.

TAXATION Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, tax on any other worldwide assets or inheritance tax on its residents.  Other local taxes are very moderate.
