Beautiful large apartment with panoramic views over Plymouth Sound and over to Mount Batten. This magnificent upper ground floor apartment has its own private entrance and is in a historic Grade II* listed mansion house which provides the views over Plymouth Sound and the English Channel, Hoe promenade and Drakes Island. The property is a true credit to the current owner who has maintained beautiful decor throughout on a grand scale with marble flooring and ornate covings with a beautiful feature fireplace complementing the lounge. There are two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), lounge, kitchen/diner and a very large reception hall at nearly 58 foot which is being used as a study and informal lounge area. The apartment has its own front door and so it makes this very large, grand apartment feel like you are in your own bungalow on the waterfront. There is the massive added benefit of a garage being included in the asking price which is at the rear of the property. It is integral to the building and provides off-road parking. There is also off-road parking in the secure gated cobbled lane to the front of the property which is available and terms should be sought from the agent. An internal viewing is highly recommended, please call our office now to arrange an appointment.
