The seafront architecture of British coastal towns are known for being grand and this penthouse on Elliot Terrace is no exception. Newly refurbished and spanning across 110 square metres, this penthouse boasts south-facing panoramic vistas over the Hoe and Plymouth, then east towards Dartmoor. Original features including arched windows, stone balconies and intricate details create a bold facade that makes a statement on the seafront. Did we mention that previous residents include one of the richest families in the country? With Nancy Astor being Britain's first female MP residing at No 3 and Arthur Conan Doyle at No 6 – visitors that have made history include the King and Queen, Winston Churchill and even Charlie Chaplin. Step outside and breathe in the fresh sea breeze as you hear the gulls fly by and dare we say – that you may even feel like you're abroad when the sun is out. Inside, the apartment's slick furnishings, luxurious bathrooms and large living room create a feeling of simple sophistication with the added bonus of being by the seaside. The central location within Plymouth makes it easy to walk to restaurants, galleries and boutiques in under fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, Dorset and the Cornish... coastline sit on either side of Plymouth, meaning this spot is an excellent base for day trips to beautiful beaches and National Trust coastal paths – so we're not surprised that Plymouth is one of Devon's most popular holiday destinations. Pack up a picnic and head out to the beach, just two minutes across the street, or sample some local English food at one of the many cafes and eateries in the area.
