1 Alfred Street, Plymouth, PL1 2RP

An impressive and exceptionally versatile four-bedroom period townhouse offering substantial accommodation arranged over multiple floors, together with the considerable benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom basement flat.

Rich in character and retaining a wealth of original period features throughout, the property combines elegant proportions and traditional detailing with an incredibly flexible layout, making it an ideal home for larger families, multi-generational living or those looking for additional independent accommodation.

The main house is beautifully proportioned, with high ceilings, large windows and an abundance of period character creating a wonderful sense of space throughout.

The principal living room is an elegant and welcoming reception room, featuring a striking period fireplace, decorative cornicing, ceiling detailing and traditional shutters.

There is a separate dining room offering excellent space for family dining and entertaining, while the kitchen provides an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and worktop space with plenty of room for everyday family life.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family members, children, guests or home working.

Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own shower facilities, a particularly useful feature within a house of this size, while additional bathroom and WC facilities further enhance the practicality of the accommodation.

Occupying the entire top floor is an impressive principal bedroom suite, creating a wonderfully private retreat away from the rest of the house.

The bedroom itself is particularly spacious, with plenty of room for additional furniture, while a separate dressing area provides further space that could be tailored to suit the new owner's requirements.

There is also a dedicated walk-in wardrobe providing excellent storage, together with a private bathroom.

The top floor further benefits from its own private roof terrace, providing a fantastic additional outside space and completing what is an exceptionally generous principal suite.

One of the property's most valuable features is the self-contained one-bedroom basement flat.

With its own independent entrance from the front of the property as well as direct access to the rear, the flat can function independently from the main residence.

The accommodation includes a generous living room, double bedroom, separate fitted kitchen, bathroom, hallway and WC, providing everything required for comfortable independent living.

This creates an excellent opportunity for multi-generational families, relatives, older children or guests, as well as offering potential for rental or supplementary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents and requirements.

Outside, the property enjoys a delightful established walled garden with mature planting, lawn and paved areas providing plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.

The garden has been thoughtfully separated so that the basement flat benefits from its own private courtyard space with direct access from the rear, allowing the occupants of the flat to enjoy their own outside area without compromising the privacy of the main house.

Together with the private roof terrace, this gives the property an unusually varied selection of outdoor spaces.

Throughout the house, the original period features are a significant part of its appeal, with beautiful fireplaces, decorative cornicing and ceiling mouldings, traditional shutters, panelled doors, high ceilings and generous room proportions all contributing to the character of this substantial home.

These features sit comfortably alongside the property's more practical qualities, creating a home that feels both elegant and highly adaptable.

1 Alfred Street is a particularly distinctive period property, combining a substantial four-bedroom family home with a completely self-contained one-bedroom basement flat, private outside spaces and an impressive top-floor principal suite with dressing area, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and roof terrace.

The scale and flexibility of the accommodation, together with the wealth of original features throughout, make this a home that really needs to be viewed internally to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
