Description

Step into a slice of Plymouth's illustrious history with this elegant two-bedroom first-floor apartment, nestled within a majestic Grade II Listed Georgian residence dating back to 1836. Commanding an unrivalled position on The Esplanade, it overlooks the sweeping vistas of Plymouth Hoe, where the iconic emerald-green expanse meets the shimmering turquoise waters of Plymouth Sound—offering a daily spectacle that's as inspiring as it is serene, with distant views of Drake's Island adding a touch of historic intrigue.

Upon entering, you're greeted by a grand drawing room that serves as the heart of the home, its towering picture windows framing breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the Hoe to the distant horizon. This space is ideal for relaxed evenings or sophisticated gatherings, blending period charm with abundant natural light that dances across the room. The layout flows seamlessly to a spacious master bedroom, exuding refined comfort with its high ceilings, ornate original features, and ample room for personalisation. A second generous double bedroom provides versatility, whether for guests, a home office, or a cosy retreat. The compact kitchen maximises efficiency with clever design, equipped for contemporary needs while preserving the property's historic essence. Completing the interior is a stylish shower room, merging modern fittings with timeless appeal for effortless daily routines.

Outside, the apartment benefits from Plymouth City Council's resident permit parking scheme, ensuring convenient and secure options for vehicle owners. As part of the prestigious List Entry No. 1386468, this residence not only embodies Georgian architectural splendour but also places you at the epicentre of Plymouth's vibrant coastal lifestyle, where the sea breeze carries echoes of the city's maritime heritage.

Local Amenities Plymouth Hoe is a treasure trove of leisure and culture right on your doorstep, alive with the buzz of annual events like the spectacular British Firework Championships and the stirring Plymouth Armed Forces Day celebrations. Enjoy leisurely strolls through Hoe Park, a vast open green space with panoramic views over Plymouth Sound, dotted with historic landmarks such as the poignant Plymouth Naval Memorial, the striking Smeaton's Tower lighthouse—which you can climb for unrivalled harbour vistas—and the Armada Memorial commemorating Sir Francis Drake's legendary game of bowls. For warmer days, dip into the art deco Tinside Lido for a refreshing swim in its saltwater pool, or unwind in nearby West Hoe Park with its playgrounds and shaded spots. Dining options abound with a variety of cafés, restaurants, and ice cream vendors lining the seafront, offering everything from casual bites to fine fare—many just a short walk away, including spots like the Asian Noodle Bar for quick, flavourful meals. The area is fully accessible with wide tarmac paths suitable for wheelchairs and prams, and it's open 24/7 for spontaneous outings or simply soaking up the sunset. Proximity to the city centre means easy access to shopping, theatres, and civic facilities, including the nearby National Marine Aquarium and Plymouth Gin Distillery, blending tranquillity with urban convenience in Britain's Ocean City.

Transport Links Connectivity is seamless from this prime location. Plymouth Railway Station is just one mile away, providing mainline services to London Paddington (around 3 hours) and regional connections. Local buses, operated by Plymouth Citybus, stop frequently on Hoe Road—try route No. 25 for direct links via Southside Street and the Hoe to the Barbican and city centre, with journeys as quick as 12 minutes from the station at £2-£3. For scenic tours, hop on the Ocean City Sights open-top bus, which circles key attractions including the Hoe and Royal William Yard. Park & Ride options like Coypool offer stress-free access with regular shuttles into town. Bike hire schemes encourage eco-friendly exploration of the waterfront paths, while water taxis and ferries across Plymouth Sound add a nautical flair to your travels, perhaps whisking you to the historic Barbican or beyond. Whether commuting or adventuring, this address ensures effortless mobility in and around Plymouth.
