Thornhill Road, Mannamead, Plymouth

HINDHEAD PROPERTY IS DELIGHTED TO PRESENT this exquisitely modernised four-bedroom Edwardian townhouse, gracefully positioned on Thornhill Road in the heart of Mannamead-one of Plymouth's most distinguished and sought-after residential streets.

This elegant mid-terrace residence blends timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern refinements, offering an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a forever home that exudes both character and comfort.

A sense of grandeur greets you on approach, and stepping inside, you're welcomed into a beautifully preserved entrance vestibule complete with original Edwardian tiled flooring. It sets the tone for the rest of the home-classic features lovingly retained and enhanced for modern living.

The main hallway provides ample storage for coats and boots and is adorned with elegant cornicing, an original mechanical doorbell, and a beautifully restored wooden balustrade. To the left, a door leads into the formal sitting room-an inviting space featuring a grand period fireplace and a hexagonal bay window that floods the room with natural light. Large wooden sliding doors open into the main dining room, which also boasts a feature fireplace.

A few steps from the main hallway lead down into the rear tenement, where you'll find a practical boot and cloakroom area, a downstairs WC, and the heart of the home: an open-plan kitchen and breakfast room. This contemporary space stretches across the rear of the property, featuring a central island, range cooker, built-in cabinetry, and direct garden access through large patio doors.

Outside, a thoughtfully designed two-tiered garden awaits. The first level offers a terrace ideal for alfresco dining. Steps descend to a paved courtyard with private off-street parking, an EV charging point, roll-top garage door, and a dedicated barbecue area with a beautiful focal-point Acer tree. A side path wraps around the extension to a timber shed, raised beds, and additional storage-making this a low-maintenance gardener's dream.

Returning inside, a staircase leads to a split-level landing where you'll find a separate WC and a stunning four-piece family bathroom, recently remodelled in a timeless style. Adjacent is Bedroom Three (currently used as a home office), benefiting from a south-facing aspect, original fireplace, generous proportions-and it still retains a lovely doorbell light switch. It's the small details that make this home truly shine.

The main first-floor landing reveals Bedroom Two, a light and spacious double bedroom with a charming period fireplace. Thanks to its south-facing orientation, the room is flooded with natural light and features traditional built-in wardrobes on either side of the chimney breast-perfectly in keeping with the home's period character.

At the front of the house, the show-stopping Principal Bedroom spans the full width of the property. This luxurious space features a bay window matching the living room below and a magnificent original fireplace.

A final staircase rises to the top floor, where luxury and practicality converge. The original fifth bedroom has been reimagined as a spectacular four-piece bathroom with a free-standing egg-shaped bath positioned beneath a long window. From here, you can enjoy sweeping south-facing views across Plymouth to the sea-an unbeatable vantage point for the city's famous fireworks displays.

The remaining Bedroom Four occupies the rest of the top floor and is a generous double with a dormer window, excellent ceiling height, and its own en suite shower room-perfect for guests, older children, or multi-generational living.

Throughout the home, five exquisite period fireplaces-one in each bedroom-serve as enduring focal points, reinforcing its rich Edwardian heritage.

Externally, the property enjoys a prime location in leafy Mannamead, an area long synonymous with prestige and convenience. Just over a mile away lies Plymouth's green heart-Central Park-offering 68 hectares of open space for sport, dog walking, and relaxation. Plymouth Railway Station is approximately 0.9 miles away, and the nearby A38 ensures excellent access to the M5 and beyond.

Families will appreciate the proximity to some of Plymouth's finest schools. Plymouth College, a leading independent school founded in 1877, is just 0.4 miles away. Devonport High School for Girls is under a mile, and King's School is just moments from your doorstep.

This is more than just a house-it's a cherished home, rich in history, thoughtfully improved, and ready for its next chapter.
