Southside Street

About this property

Southside Street is a characterful 400 year old Grade II-listed apartment in Plymouth, Devon, boasting exposed beams and original period details. Set among the cobbled streets of the historic Barbican, this four-hundred-year-old property blends centuries of history with thoughtful touches for couples, friends, or families.

Step inside and discover stone walls, uneven floors, quirky angles, and exposed beams and rafters overhead, each adding to the apartment’s distinctive personality. The kitchen/diner draws the eye upwards to a skylight stretching across the ceiling, while the kitchen island offers another place to sit with a morning coffee. Prepare dinner using the oven and gas hob before gathering around the dining table, then move into the separate sitting room for a film on the Smart TV or browse the selection of books.

The king-size bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, while the double bedroom occupies the converted loft beneath the eaves. A walk-in shower completes the accommodation.

Outside, Plymouth’s historic Barbican is ready to explore from the doorstep, with its cobbled streets forming an atmospheric backdrop to your stay. Discover more of the city at the National Marine Aquarium, then head towards Plymouth Hoe to see the landmark Smeaton’s Tower and take in the waterfront surroundings.

Venture to nearby Saltash for another perspective on the River Tamar and the striking Royal Albert Bridge, or travel to Tavistock and explore its historic market-town setting and Tavistock Abbey remains. With beaches also within reach, days can move easily between coast, heritage and city attractions. Experience Plymouth from within a building that has its own story to tell at Southside Street.

Surrounded by the rugged beauty of Dartmoor, the glorious countryside of the South Hams and the vibrant scenery of the South Devon coast, Plymouth offers the perfect mixture of maritime heritage and natural beauty in a vibrant city environment. Wander through the maze of narrow streets with their shops, restaurants and art galleries and down to the Barbican quayside, where the city's maritime history begins. Take a stroll up to the Hoe with its unsurpassed view across one of the world's finest natural harbours and where Francis Drake played bowls as the Armada sailed into view! Take a tour of the Plymouth Gin distillery, watch a show at the Theatre Royal or spend a fascinating few hours at the National Marine Aquarium. There are also boat trips around the Sound and Naval dockyards, watersports at the Mountbatten Centre and the city centre shopping mall to explore. The wild tors of Dartmoor, the beach resorts of Torbay, several stately homes and gardens and the splendid coastal scenery of South Cornwall can all be reached in under 45 minutes.
