About
In the heart of the historic Barbican and a stone’s throw away from a variety of restaurants, pubs and shops, the Hoe and Plymouth Sound, this one-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of this 18th century Grade 11 listed Georgian townhouse.
The apartment overlooks the main street of Plymouth’s Barbican. Entering into the hallway, you have access to all rooms of the apartment.
The cosy open-plan living area/kitchen is completed with neutrally painted plastered walls and ceilings and finished with wooden effect fitted laminate flooring.
Two large sash windows fill the room with brightness.

Airing cupboard houses the hot water tank. To the rear of the apartment, is the compact bedroom, which fits a double bed.
This room has also been used as an office/study room with the living room made into a living room/bedroom combined, with a pull-down bed. Heated with electric heaters to each room.
There is no allocated parking space for the property and as a result, would urge any interested parties to research parking in the area with Plymouth City Council should this be a requirement.
