Summary - HERMITAGE COURT, 1 FLAT 2 FORD PARK PLYMOUTH PL4 6QU
1 bed 1 bath Parking
Low-maintenance one-bed retirement flat close to Mutley Plain amenities and transport.
One-bedroom retirement apartment with private patio and social programme
This listing relates to a retirement apartment in the modern McCarthy & Stone development Hermitage Court, located just off Mutley Plain with good access to local shops, buses and amenities. The building is relatively new (constructed 1996–2002), benefits from double glazing and a social programme for residents — useful for those seeking companionship and low-maintenance living. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the flat has a private patio for fresh air.
Practical details suit downsizers: one bedroom, one bathroom, electric storage heating and a 104-year lease. Council tax is described as cheap. The development allows pets and is organised with regular resident events, which adds community appeal. Ground rent is reported at £395 (average) — factor this into running costs.
Important cautions are straightforward. The wider area is classified as deprived with high local crime levels; buyers should check local safety data and visit at different times. The neighbourhood profile mixes students and professionals, so expect varied daytime and evening activity. Heating is electric storage — higher running costs than gas are likely. Also note an inconsistency in the supplied data: the headline states a parking sale, while the detailed description describes a one-bedroom retirement apartment. Verify exactly what is being offered before proceeding.
For a buyer downsizing or seeking an income or sheltered-living option in central Plymouth, this flat offers convenience, community and low-maintenance living. For safety-conscious buyers or those on tight energy budgets, the location and electric heating are material negatives to weigh against the lifestyle benefits.
