This compact one-bedroom basement flat on Connaught Avenue offers an affordable city-base for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The apartment benefits from a newly secured 999-year lease (share of freehold), double glazing fitted after 2002, and gas central heating with a modern boiler and radiators. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low and the property’s central Plymouth location promises rental demand and local amenities on the doorstep.
Internally the layout is open-plan with a combined living/kitchen, a separate bedroom and a modern bathroom. Period external features of the Victorian terrace give curb appeal and character, while the internal presentation is described as contemporary in parts — a straightforward home to move into or to update for extra value. The footprint is compact (around 420–539 sq ft), making it suitable for a single occupant, couple, or investor targeting long-term city lettings.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the neighbourhood records higher crime and falls within a more deprived area classification, which may affect resale values and rental yields. There is no substantial private garden and parking is on-street only. The building’s granite walls date from the early 20th century and are assumed to lack insulation, so consider potential energy upgrades despite the current EPC C.
In short, this flat is a pragmatic, low-cost entry into Plymouth property ownership with a secure long lease and clear upgrade potential. It will most appeal to buyers prioritising location, low holding costs and a manageable renovation or letting project rather than those seeking large living spaces or extensive outdoor amenities.
