Summary - Top Floor Flat, 19, St. James Place West PL1 3AT
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Immaculate two-bedroom top-floor home — share of freehold and no chain, ideal for Airbnb or city living.
Top-floor maisonette with two double bedrooms (approx. 740 sq ft)
This immaculate top-floor maisonette on St James Place West offers two double bedrooms and a bright open-plan living/kitchen across approximately 740 sq ft. Recently renovated throughout, the property presents contemporary fixtures, a high-spec kitchen and a modern bathroom — ready to occupy or let immediately. The share of freehold and no onward chain simplify purchase and give owners more control.
Situated close to Plymouth Hoe and the waterfront, the location suits short-stay lettings and city living. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support short-term rental demand and remote working. Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of C keep running costs relatively low.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated and could need upgrading to improve comfort and efficiency. As a top-floor property there are internal stairs and no lift, which may deter some long-stay tenants or buyers. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood character — lively and convenient, but potentially noisy at times.
For investors seeking a high-yield Airbnb or first-time buyers wanting a stylish city base by the sea, this maisonette balances immediate income or move-in readiness with clear opportunities for longer-term energy improvements. Early inspection is recommended to assess any retrofit or tenant-suitability requirements.
