LOCATION Astor Court is a truly unique development, located within the walls of the historic Grade II Listed Virginia House Settlement. Founded by Lord and Lady Astor in 1925, this landmark building is tucked away on a charming cobbled lane in the heart of The Barbican. Plymouth's historic Looe Street is well known for its characterful period properties and unique atmosphere. Lined with traditional buildings, many offering quirky layouts and original features, the street has a distinctive maritime feel that reflects its seafaring past. Its central location places residents just moments from independent shops, cafés, galleries and the picturesque Sutton Harbour waterfront, making Looe Street particularly appealing to those seeking character living in a prime city-centre setting.
The Barbican is one of Plymouth's most sought-after and iconic areas, celebrated for its rich history, vibrant culture and strong community feel. Home to an array of popular restaurants, bars, museums and art spaces, the area attracts both residents and visitors year-round. With excellent access to the city centre, Plymouth Hoe and waterfront walks, the Barbican offers a unique blend of heritage and lifestyle convenience, making it especially popular with professionals, creatives and those looking for a lively yet distinctive place to live in Plymouth.
DESCRIPTION We are pleased to offer this well-presented two double bedroom, first-floor apartment, located within a popular and well-maintained development.

Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that immediately sets the tone for the property. Finished with oak flooring, this area feels both practical and stylish, with bespoke handmade shelving providing useful storage while adding character. The hallway acts as the central hub of the home, giving access to all principal rooms.
The open-plan kitchen and living area is a bright and sociable space, ideal for modern living. Dual-aspect windows allow plenty of natural light to flow throughout, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere. The living area offers ample space for both seating and dining, making it suitable for relaxing or entertaining.
