Set on the first floor of a Georgian terrace, this Grade II listed two-bedroom flat blends period character with a recently fitted kitchen and usable garden. At about 603 sq ft, the layout suits a first home or a buy-to-let with easy access to Plymouth city centre, university facilities and transport links.
Important practical points are upfront: the property is leasehold and listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or improvement works. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has timber-frame walls with no assumed insulation, so buyers should expect retrofit or heating efficiency considerations despite the mains gas boiler and radiators.
The flat is offered with no onward chain, which helps speed a purchase. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or student tenants. Note the area has high crime rates and is classed as very deprived — this affects community feel and long-term resale expectations.
Overall this is a compact, characterful home with clear upside for buyers prepared to work within listed constraints and to address thermal inefficiencies. It will particularly suit first-time buyers wanting a central location or investors targeting student or rental demand, provided they factor in listed-status limits and local area considerations.
