This spacious first-and-second-floor maisonette sits within a Victorian redbrick terrace between Stoke Village and Plymouth city centre, offering generous rooms, high ceilings and large bay windows that flood the living space with light. The layout — large sitting/dining room and a sizable kitchen/breakfast room on the first floor with two double bedrooms above — suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who want roomy period proportions without immediate structural investment.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, gas central heating with a modern-style bathroom, uPVC double glazing and a very long lease (959 years). The property is chain-free and comes with relatively low service charges and a small ground rent, which helps keep ongoing costs predictable for owners or landlords.
Buyers should note the property sits in a generally deprived ward with above-average local crime statistics, and the building’s solid-brick Victorian construction likely lacks wall insulation — an upgrade to consider for comfort and efficiency. The EPC rating of D (66) reflects some room for energy improvements. Double glazing install date is unknown and further cosmetic modernisation may be desired to maximise rental or resale value.
Overall this maisonette delivers substantial living space, period character and low-running leasehold costs in a convenient urban location. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking long-term ownership with scope to personalise, or investors targeting a tenant-ready central Plymouth home with clear upgrade potential.
