This first-floor two-bedroom flat on Ross Street offers an affordable entry into Plymouth’s property market or a straightforward rental opportunity. The apartment includes two double bedrooms, a 16ft lounge, a fitted kitchen with utility room, and two outdoor storage sheds—practical extras for small households or tenants.
The property is chain free and offered at a competitive price with an existing lease of around 81 years and a low reported ground rent of £10. It has UPVC double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, which help keep running costs down in a compact 517 sq ft layout.
Buyers should be aware of material factors: the flat sits in an area with high crime and very high deprivation indicators, and the building is a mid-20th century system-built block with external insulation. The leasehold tenure and limited remaining term mean surveying lease details and potential additional fees (lease packs, etc.) is essential before committing.
For first-time buyers looking for a cheap home close to local amenities, schools and good transport links, this is a practical, no-frills option. Investors seeking a let may find the size and location workable for rental demand around the nearby Devonport Naval Base, but should factor in local market challenges and any refurbishment needed to maximise returns.
