5 Bedroom Detached House

Occupying a commanding elevated position with far-reaching views across Plymouth Sound, Drake’s Island and towards Mount Edgcumbe, this is a substantial older-style detached residence that has been comprehensively converted and finished to create an exceptional private home. The property has been brought back into residential use and now offers the rare combination of period scale, modern specification and a newly completed, never-lived-in feel. With five double bedrooms, generous reception rooms, a striking mirrored staircase, private lift, large gardens, ample parking for up to five cars and no onward chain, this is a landmark home ready for its first owners in its new chapter.

The Home

The accommodation has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide a substantial and highly flexible private residence, combining the proportions and presence of an established older-style building with the comfort and convenience expected of a newly completed home. Having been converted back into a single dwelling, the property has not been lived in since completion, giving buyers the opportunity to move into a freshly finished, turnkey home without the compromises often associated with older properties.

The property opens into an entrance hall, which leads through to an impressive inner hallway. Here, the feature mirrored staircase creates an immediate sense of arrival, while the inclusion of a private lift provides a rare and practical addition, ideal for accessibility, future-proofing or multi-generational living.

The principal reception space is a superb triple-aspect drawing room positioned to the front of the house. Generously proportioned and filled with natural light, it provides an impressive formal living space. A separate dining room offers further space for entertaining, while a dedicated study provides a useful home-working area.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, matching work surfaces and a comprehensive selection of integrated appliances. The kitchen includes dual inset sinks, a boiling tap, waste disposal unit, American-style fridge-freezer, AEG double oven, microwave/combination oven, electric hob, two gas burners, cooker hood, dishwasher and four slimline wine coolers. A Velux skylight, bi-folding doors, French doors and additional side window allow natural light to pour into the room, creating a superb everyday family space as well as an impressive setting for entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a sitting room or snug, creating a relaxed family area that connects naturally with the kitchen/breakfast space. The ground floor is completed by a laundry room and downstairs cloakroom/WC.

On the first floor, the sense of space continues with five double bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is particularly impressive, enjoying a generous dual-aspect layout with views towards Drake’s Island and the Cornish coastline. It is served by a dressing room and two ensuite shower rooms, providing a rare and luxurious arrangement.

Bedroom two features French doors opening onto a private balcony with glass and stainless-steel balustrading, enjoying views across the garden towards Plymouth Sound and Plymouth Hoe, and also benefits from its own en-suite shower room. A further bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower and basin. An additional separate WC is also positioned on the first floor.

The property also benefits from double glazing, under-floor heating and central heating.

Outside

The property is approached via a generous tarmac parking area, providing plentiful off-road parking and turning space, with established shrubs adding interest to the frontage. A brick-paved path leads to the main entrance, while side access continues around to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the home, offering a generous area of outside space that complements the scale of the house beautifully. Immediately adjoining the rear of the property is a terrace, positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across Plymouth Sound towards Plymouth Hoe. This area includes an outdoor barbecue/kitchen space, creating an excellent setting for summer entertaining, alfresco dining and enjoying the views.

Beyond the terrace, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with shrubs and small trees, providing a pleasant and practical space for family life. A useful storage shed is positioned beneath the outdoor kitchen area.
