Set over three floors in the Grade I listed Clarence Building, this 2-bedroom apartment delivers exceptional, uninterrupted waterfront views across Royal William Yard and the River Tamar. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast/living space, separate dining area and a top-floor study nook make the layout flexible for living and working from home. Two allocated off-street parking spaces add practical convenience for city-centre waterside living.
The interior balances historic character—exposed stone, timber beams and large sash windows—with contemporary fittings, including a modern kitchen and a striking granite spiral staircase. Both double bedrooms have en-suite facilities and storage; the second-floor nook provides a quiet spot to enjoy the far-reaching sea views. The overall footprint is unusually large for a city-centre apartment (approximately 1,609 sq ft), offering generous room proportions.
Buyers should note important practical facts: the building is Grade I listed, which can restrict alterations and complicate consent for changes. The apartment is leasehold with about 101 years remaining and a nominal ground rent of £1, but the current service charge is high (circa £8,660 p.a.), and the building uses a communal gas boiler system for heating. Council tax is recorded as expensive. The wider development has excellent amenities—cafés, restaurants, galleries—and strong transport links, though parts of the surrounding area show higher deprivation indicators.
This property will suit buyers prioritising historic character, expansive waterside views and generous internal space, and who accept listed-building constraints and above-average running costs. It also offers potential for owners seeking a distinctive pied-à-terre or a high-end city residence with immediate access to maritime amenities.
