Spacious Grade II penthouse with three beds, two parking spaces and panoramic views.
Penthouse apartment with panoramic elevated views
An exceptional penthouse apartment within the Grade II listed Royal Eye Infirmary, this striking period conversion offers an unusually large, single-level home in central Plymouth. At approximately 1,874 sq ft the layout delivers three double bedrooms, three bathrooms and expansive living spaces with elevated panoramic views and a distinctive turret bedroom. A contemporary kitchen/diner with bifold doors opens onto a private balcony, while underfloor heating and a modern boiler provide efficient comfort.
Practical strengths include two off-street parking spaces, a very long lease (995 years) held as a share of freehold and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The apartment sits moments from Mutley Plain, the railway station, the university and parks, making it well placed for commuting, student rental demand or a substantial family home.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status means alterations will require consents and may limit changes; maintenance and specialist repairs can be more costly. Private outdoor space is limited to a balcony and communal grounds; there is no large private garden. Council Tax Band E is above average. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area, which can mean higher footfall and occasional noise.
Overall this property suits buyers seeking a large, characterful apartment with high ceilings, strong curb appeal and central convenience — whether as a distinctive family residence or an investment with solid letting potential. The listing presents both historic charm and contemporary living, but purchasers should factor listed-building restrictions and communal maintenance into their plans.
