Share of freehold with very long lease (964 years)
Three double bedrooms; larger lounge on second floor
Brand new roof recently installed
Off-street parking to the rear (rare for area)
Gas central heating and double glazing present
Kitchen with built-in appliances; functional but dated
Located in a higher-crime, deprived ward — consider lettability/resale
Solid brick Victorian build; likely lacks wall insulation
This three-bedroom first-floor maisonette sits in a central Lipson location close to Plymouth city centre, the university and local amenities. The layout offers three double bedrooms on the first floor and a large lounge on the second floor, giving flexible living space for a small family or sharer households. Practical upgrades include gas central heating, double glazing and a brand new roof.
The property is offered as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (964 years) and benefits from off-street parking to the rear — uncommon for terraced properties in the area. The kitchen has built-in appliances and the mix of original period features and more recent fittings means there’s scope to personalise without starting from scratch.
Buyers should note some material points: the area scores as above-average for crime and is within a deprived ward, which may affect resale or lettability. Internal fittings are serviceable but would benefit from modernisation to maximise value. The property is solid-brick Victorian construction with no confirmed wall insulation and the layout is compact, so heating costs and insulation upgrades should be considered.
This maisonette will suit a first-time buyer seeking central, affordable accommodation or an investor targeting lettings near the university. It offers clear short-term benefits (new roof, parking, long lease) alongside sensible refurbishment potential to increase rental income or create a long-term home.
