Property description
'Albemarle Villas' is without a doubt one of the most desirable and sought after addresses within the City, and comprises a row of eight fine detached Georgian residences built by the famous architect 'Foulston'.
'7 Albemarle Villas' enjoys a delightful open aspect and oblique views towards The Sound as well as views of Mount Edgcumbe and Cornwall. Situated within the Stoke Damerel Conservation Area, the excellent range of local facilities include the nearby Stoke Village, Plymouth Albion RFC Complex, Devonport High School for Boys and regular public transport to the City Centre which is approximately one mile distant.
Circa 1820, this fine Grade II Listed villa enjoys a sunny, southerly and westerly aspect and has many classical early 19th Century architectural features including ornate mouldings, an original roll top bath, fabulous deep multi-paned windows, shutters, fireplaces, ceiling rose, coving and a magnificent wrought iron staircase. There is an impressive veranda and a balcony from which the delightful views and aspect can be enjoyed. The property has gas fired central heating, a security system and in 2006 the property had a new slate roof and guttering.
The accommodation, which does offer 'annexe potential', comprises on the ground floor of a fabulous entrance hallway with ornate mouldings and coving, a sitting room and dining room with interconnecting doors and original fireplaces, a kitchen/diner with Aga, study, separate w.c. and a walk-in store. There is also a utility room, a rear porch and a large integral double garage with further storage. On the first floor are four double bedrooms, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and access to a full length balcony. There is a family bathroom off the second bedroom and a separate w.c. There is access to a potential annexe area which has a sitting room, a bathroom and another bedroom. There is a very useful and extensive cellar area which includes a wine cellar with wine bins.
This is a fine family residence and an internal inspection can be strongly advised.
To the rear of the property are level walled gardens which are laid mainly to lawn and the front gardens are stocked with a wide variety of plants, shrubs and mature trees. A wrought iron gate leads via a pathway to the front of the property.
AGENTS NOTE: The field opposite is owned by Plymouth City Council. Last autumn they indicated the land would be put up for sale for residential use. This is no longer the case, and in the meantime the local residents have applied to register the land as a 'Town or Village Green'. There is also no onward chain with this property.
