Set within the gated, historic Millfields complex, this thoughtfully converted two-bedroom cottage mixes period character with contemporary finishes. Double-height ceilings and a mezzanine create a bright, flexible living space, and original-style features such as French windows add charm. Allocated off-street parking and a private rear garden are rare extras for central Plymouth homes.
The layout suits a couple, first-time buyer or investor seeking a distinctive property with good decorative order. The spiral staircase and split-level arrangement maximise space but will restrict mobility and furniture placement. The home is compact overall despite generous ceiling heights; some buyers may prefer more conventional floorplans.
Practical points you should know: the building dates from before 1900 and the exterior stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), double glazing install dates are unknown, and the site sits within an area classed as very deprived with higher local crime rates. The gated development provides security patrols and communal gardens, which help mitigate some local-area concerns.
In short, this is a well-presented, characterful home with strong curb appeal and practical benefits (parking, garden, secure development). It offers immediate move-in quality with modest risk items to check (insulation, glazing ages, mobility limitations). Buyers wanting a character conversion in a protected setting will find real appeal here.
