1 bedroom flat for sale

A penthouse apartment, of modest proportions, with sea facing balcony and direct views over Plymouth Sound. Carefully and thoughtfully updated, and most attractive, hall and landing areas, bed/sitting room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, shower room, sea facing balcony.

Location

The apartment lies high on the sea facing Grand Parade, to the west side of Plymouth's Hoe, and with direct views over Plymouth Sound. Strategically this is one of the best waterside positions within Plymouth, and possibly of the whole South West Coast line, almost on the water itself with constantly entertaining views over the main channel into Plymouth and Devonport with an aspect that includes the Breakwater, the mouth of the River Plym and the country hillsides of South West Devon at Staddon Heights. Within a short walk of the property there are many local shops, together with bus routes, The Hoe, Tinside Lido and The Citadel. The City's historic Elizabethan Barbican and City Centre are both about half a mile distant. This specific location forms part of a Conservation Area. There is an excellent secondary view from the property extending over the buildings of West Hoe and to the tennis courts nearby.
