Spanning roughly 1,623 sq ft across multiple floors, this large maisonette on Garden Crescent offers rare space and a south-facing rooftop terrace with panoramic views over Plymouth Sound and Drake’s Island. The accommodation includes a self-contained one‑bed studio ideal for guests or an income stream, plus two large double bedrooms, a separate shower room and generous living areas including a conservatory that floods the upper level with light. The layout lends itself to flexible use — single ownership, multi‑generational living, or holiday/long‑let investment.
The property is chain‑free and sold as Share of Freehold, simplifying purchase and landlord responsibilities compared with leasehold flats. Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low flood risk and very low local crime. The maisonette sits opposite West Hoe tennis courts and is a short walk from the Hoe, Barbican and city centre amenities — strong locational appeal for tenants and holiday visitors.
Buyers should be aware the building shows exterior wear and requires renovation and updating internally in places; the period features (high ceilings, large rooms) remain but some investment is needed to unlock full value. Walls are cavity-built with no known insulation and glazing is double but of unknown age, so energy improvements are likely. There is no private ground-floor garden — outdoor space is limited to the rooftop terrace.
Given the size, layout and sea views, this home will suit investors targeting holiday-let or long-term rental income, and buyers after a spacious coastal home with scope to personalise. Be realistic about refurbishment costs and the neighbourhood’s socioeconomic challenges; these will affect funding, rental yields and resale timing.
