Set on Hill Park Crescent in central Plymouth, this chain-free two-bedroom basement flat offers 723 sq ft of practical living space and a rare private off-street parking space — a strong advantage in this location. The layout includes a generous principal bedroom, a second double, a separate kitchen, a lounge and two bathrooms including an en-suite, making the home flexible for sharers, first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords.
Internally the flat is largely in good condition with a contemporary galley kitchen and functioning heating system (mains gas boiler and radiators). The long lease (169 years remaining) and council tax band A keep ongoing costs low. The property is in a lively area with strong transport links, local shops and amenities, and sits in a neighbourhood popular with students and professionals.
Buyers should note this is a basement flat: natural light will be reduced compared with above-ground homes and some external elements appear dated. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is D, so upgrading insulation and improving energy efficiency could be worthwhile projects. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect resale values in the short term but also supports rental demand nearby from students and workers.
Overall this apartment is ready to occupy or rent immediately with straightforward improvement potential to raise EPC and aesthetic appeal. Its combination of space, parking and long lease makes it particularly attractive to first-time buyers seeking value or investors seeking steady rental income.
