2 bed flat for sale

Clarendon House, Stoke PL2

Set within the impressive Grade II listed Victorian Clarendon House, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom third-floor apartment is full of character, with high ceilings, large sash-style windows and wonderful sea views across Plymouth Sound towards Cornwall.

One of the real highlights of the apartment is the outlook. From the living room, the views stretch directly across Plymouth Sound and over towards Cornwall, creating a fantastic backdrop throughout the year. It is an especially memorable spot during the annual British Firework Championships, when you can enjoy the spectacular displays over Plymouth Sound from the comfort of your own home.

The apartment is approached through a generous entrance hallway, which immediately gives a sense of the space on offer. The layout works extremely well, with a good degree of separation between the living and sleeping areas, making it equally suited to couples, professionals, those working from home or anyone wanting a comfortable guest room.

The living room is undoubtedly the heart of the apartment. It is an exceptionally generous room, with high ceilings and large windows allowing plenty of natural light to pour in. There is more than enough space for separate sitting and dining areas, making it a lovely room for everyday living as well as entertaining. Of course, it is the beautiful sea views that really make this room special, looking directly across Plymouth Sound towards Cornwall and giving the apartment a genuine sense of place.

The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, together with space for a selection of appliances. A large window brings in further natural light and continues the bright, airy feel found throughout the property.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with plenty of room for freestanding furniture and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.

The second bedroom is another useful and flexible space and would make an ideal guest bedroom, home office or hobby room, depending on the needs of the new owner.

Alongside the en-suite, there is a separate main bathroom fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC, a welcome addition for a two-bedroom apartment.

Clarendon House itself is a handsome Grade II listed Victorian building with an imposing period façade and attractive architectural detailing. Its generous proportions and high ceilings give the apartment a character that can be difficult to find in more modern developments, while lift access to the upper floors adds welcome convenience to everyday living.

Outside, residents also benefit from secure gated parking within the grounds, a valuable feature in this part of Plymouth.

The location is extremely convenient for getting around the city. Devonport railway station is approximately 0.14 miles away, with Dockyard station around 0.4 miles away and Plymouth’s main railway station approximately 1.1 miles away. Bus connections are also close at hand, with stops on and around Albert Road just a short walk from the building.

The property is ideally positioned for anyone working at Babcock’s Devonport Royal Dockyard, which is nearby, while Plymouth city centre is also within easy reach. Stoke Village, local shops and everyday amenities are close by, together with convenient links to the city centre, waterfront and surrounding areas.

Combining the character and proportions of a Victorian building with the convenience of modern apartment living, this is a home that has a great deal to offer. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, lift access, secure gated parking and, above all, those beautiful sea views across Plymouth Sound towards Cornwall, this is a distinctive and spacious apartment in a wonderfully convenient Plymouth location.
