Seymour Road, Mannamead, Plymouth, PL3 5AT

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and elegant residence positioned on one of Plymouth’s most prestigious and sought-after residential roads in the heart of Mannamead.

Occupying a prime position on Seymour Road, this impressive property offers an extraordinary degree of flexibility and versatility, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, large families, or purchasers seeking a home capable of adapting to a variety of lifestyle requirements. Mannamead remains one of Plymouth’s most desirable residential areas, renowned for its attractive period homes, tree-lined avenues, highly regarded schools, and convenient access to Plymouth city centre, Central Park, and Derriford Hospital.

Lot 1 – The Main Residence

The principal residence is currently arranged to provide exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation and could comfortably function as a substantial five-bedroom family home alongside a self-contained two-bedroom basement apartment.

The main house itself offers five bedrooms, including two en-suite bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a downstairs WC. The living accommodation is extensive, currently configured as four separate reception rooms comprising a formal lounge, games room, snug, and office space, in addition to a spacious kitchen, dining area, and utility room. The layout provides excellent flexibility for both family living and entertaining.

The self-contained basement apartment benefits from its own independent access and includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, utility area, and bathroom facilities, making it ideally suited for dependent relatives, older children, guest accommodation, or supplementary income potential.

The property is perfectly suited to large families or those seeking adaptable living arrangements within an established and highly desirable residential location. The home enjoys all the benefits associated with Seymour Road and the wider Mannamead area, including proximity to excellent schools, local amenities, and convenient transport links, whilst still retaining a sense of privacy and prestige rarely found so close to the city centre.

Lot 2 – The Coachhouse (Available by Separate Negotiation)

Available by separate negotiation is the neighbouring detached three-bedroom property known as The Coachhouse Currently utilised as a high-quality modern home with excellent ongoing rental potential, the property presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking supplementary income, independent accommodation for family members, or a long-term investment within an established and desirable area.

Positioned directly adjacent to the principal residence, The Coachhouse creates an ideal arrangement for multi-generational living whilst still maintaining independence from the main home. Equally, it offers strong appeal to investors looking to retain a premium rental asset in one of Plymouth’s most sought-after residential districts.

Flexible purchasing structures and timelines may also be available in relation to The Coachhouse, with interested parties advised to seek independent financial and legal advice regarding any potential tax or company purchase arrangements.

Rarely do opportunities of this nature become available within Seymour Road, combining substantial accommodation, investment potential, and exceptional flexibility within one of Plymouth’s finest residential addresses.
