A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful Victorian home offering exceptional flexibility, beautiful gardens and an enviable central yet peaceful location. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, character and versatility on offer.

Description
A substantial and beautifully restored Victorian house overlooking Beaumont Park, this double-fronted home combines striking period architecture, generous proportions and a wealth of original features. Set within an unspoiled avenue of traditional Victorian family homes, lined with mature trees, it occupies a sought-after residential location offering the best of city living alongside a strong sense of established character and community.

.
The house retains its original Victorian charm while offering spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to family life, entertaining or multi-generational living. Its double-fronted limestone façade and end-of-terrace position give it the presence of a semi-detached home, with impressive proportions throughout.

.
The spacious entrance hall sets the tone, with patterned floor tiles, mahogany entrance doors featuring etched glass panels and an original mahogany staircase with elegant banisters and spindles. Throughout the house, there are stripped original doors, ornate plasterwork, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, dado rails and picture rails.

.
The ground floor offers four substantial reception rooms, currently arranged as a lounge, dining room, study, and games and music room. Original plasterwork and stripped timber floors enhance their period character, while the lounge and dining room feature rare matching cast-iron fireplaces and an original Lincrusta frieze.

.
The large kitchen, newly fitted in 2019, combines traditional styling with modern practicality. Solid oak doors, twin ovens and an extra-wide induction hob with matching splashback are complemented by an integrated dishwasher and ample space for an American-style fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Windows overlooking the established garden provide abundant natural light, while a conveniently positioned downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

.
Upstairs, six bedrooms comprise four doubles and two singles, offering considerable flexibility for families of different ages and stages. One single bedroom adjoins a double bedroom and could equally serve as a dressing room, nursery, home office or private sitting room. A separate shower room serves the guest double bedroom and adjoining single bedroom. The generous landing provides further useful space, with potential for a reading area, study space or drying area.

.
The exceptionally spacious family bathroom is a particularly attractive feature, finished with a crystal chandelier, Victorian-style patterned wall tiles and a stripped timber tongue-and-groove floor. A traditional roll-top bath and walk-in shower sit alongside a Victorian-style WC and basin, with traditional radiators completing the look. Double glazing is installed throughout.

Garden
The established wrap-around gardens are a particular highlight, offering privacy, mature planting and a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. Mature privet hedging creates a sheltered setting, complemented by cottage-style planting, vegetable-growing areas, a greenhouse, woodshed and approximately ten young fruit trees. Several secluded seating areas provide inviting spots for outdoor dining, relaxation or simply enjoying the garden.

Coach House
A distinctive feature of the property is the substantial former coach house, incorporating the original stable and a two-storey hayloft. This characterful building provides garaging and parking for two vehicles, together with additional storage and workshop space. Its generous proportions and versatility offer exciting possibilities for a dedicated workshop, studio, home office, garden room or further ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. It is a valuable addition that gives the property scope to accommodate a wide range of practical and creative pursuits beyond everyday family living. For those looking for a home offering more than simply family accommodation, the Coach House provides valuable additional space that could be adapted to suit individual requirements.

Improvements
The house and outbuildings have benefited from a number of important improvements, including a full electrical rewire and underfloor insulation. An A-rated combination boiler was installed in 2019 and has been serviced annually.

Location
The property enjoys a particularly desirable position overlooking Beaumont Park, within an unspoiled, tree-lined avenue of traditional Victorian family homes. Combining period surroundings with exceptional convenience, the location is particularly appealing to families seeking access to the city's educational, cultural and recreational amenities. A wide choice of primary and secondary schools, both state-maintained and independent, are within walking distance or an easy bus ride, making the area especially well suited to family life. Plymouth city centre is approximately a ten-minute walk away, with the Ebrington Street Conservation Area, cinemas, restaurants and The Box all readily accessible on foot. The historic Barbican, National Marine Aquarium and Plymouth Hoe are also within easy walking distance, while the waterfront and Royal William Yard are conveniently reached for dining, leisure and days out. The road network provides swift access across Plymouth and towards Cornwall, Devon and the wider country via the A38. Excellent rail and bus connections offer convenient travel to destinations including London, Bristol, Bath and Birmingham, while Exeter, Bristol and Newquay airports are all within easy reach. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Mount Edgcumbe, Wembury, Dartmoor and the surrounding coastline offer ample opportunities for walking, sailing and exploring the South West. The result is a location that combines the architectural charm of an established Victorian neighbourhood with the convenience of city amenities and excellent regional and national connections.
