This substantial mid-terrace period house spans five storeys and offers generous, flexible living across circa 2,670 sq ft — a rare size for central Plymouth. High ceilings, original fireplaces, intricate coving and tall sash windows give the home immediate character, while a private roof terrace delivers sweeping views towards Plymouth Sound. The house includes three sizeable lower-ground rooms suitable for a home cinema, gym or serious storage and benefits from gated rear access and a low-maintenance garden.
The layout suits a family seeking space or multigenerational living: large principal bedroom across the first floor, multiple reception rooms, and an attic bedroom with en suite opening onto the roof terrace. Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiator heating, no flooding risk and a clear chain-free sale which can speed completion.
Buyers should note material points honestly: the property sits in a neighbourhood with pockets of deprivation and a cosmopolitan student presence, so the area can be lively. The stone-built walls are likely uninsulated as originally constructed, which may mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. Council Tax Band E reflects above-average running costs. Some internal finishes (carpets) differ between images, indicating cosmetic updating may be needed in places.
Overall, this is a character-rich, large family home with strong waterside appeal and conversion potential in the basement and attic. It will particularly suit buyers who value size and period detail and are prepared to invest selectively to improve thermal efficiency and finishes.
