Light-filled two-bedroom first-floor flat in Prince Rock, offering period character and practical living space. The bay-fronted lounge and generous kitchen/diner create a comfortable home ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The bathroom is modern and the property benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout.
Positioned close to schools, shops and public transport, this home provides easy access to Plymouth city centre and the A38. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and the council tax band is very low, helping keep running costs down. The flat forms part of a reverse freehold arrangement with over 960 years on the lease and no service charges or ground rent.
Practical considerations: heating is electric (storage/heaters) and mains walls are solid brick likely without cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. The shared south-facing courtyard is pleasant but not private. The area scores as very deprived with higher-than-average crime, so buyers should weigh location advantages against local social factors.
Overall, this well-presented flat combines period charm, useful space and minimal ongoing fees — a straightforward purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into the market or a lettable property with clear rental appeal. Viewings recommended to judge scale, condition and local setting in person.
