Yards from the world-famous Hoe foreshore, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, light-filled open-plan reception with an angled bay window and partial sea views. The apartment sits on the first floor of a purpose-built block with secure entry and an allocated off-street parking space — a rare convenience so close to the waterfront. With fresh decoration, new carpets and a contemporary kitchenette, it’s ready to move into.
The long lease (961 years) and chain-free sale make purchase straightforward, and the layout suits both a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base and an investor targeting strong rental demand near Plymouth’s amenities and transport links. Practical features include double glazing, storage cupboards and good mobile and broadband connectivity for modern living or letting.
Be aware of material factors: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and uses electric storage heaters (no communal gas). The building attracts an annual service charge of about £1,200 and the wider neighbourhood ranks as very deprived, which may influence resale tone and tenant mix. Council tax is very cheap, and crime levels are reported very low.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance one-bedroom flat in a prime Hoe location. It suits buyers who prioritise location, lease security and immediate readiness, and investors looking for an accessible seafront rental; buyers who need outside garden space, gas heating, or lower flood risk should note these limitations.
