SITUATIONVictoria House sits high above Cattedown, just to the east of Plymouth’s historic Hoe. The property enjoys far-reaching and uninterrupted views across Plymouth Sound and out to sea, taking in famous landmarks including Mount Batten, Drakes Island, Plymouth’s Hoe and the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park on the Cornish border.

Plymouth has a rich and fascinating history and is one of the finest natural harbours in the world. The city has a diverse selection of shops, restaurants and theatres, all of which are within easy walking distance. Plymouth’s Barbican is also within walking distance, offering many exciting visitor attractions, including The National Maritime Museum and Marine Aquarium, a selection of shops and restaurants as well as Plymouth’s famous Gin Distillery.

Plymouth has at least five yacht marinas including Sutton Harbour, Mayflower, Plymouth Yacht Haven, Queen Anne’s Battery and King Point, providing an excellent base for exploring the South West’s many fantastic beaches and anchorages, or further afield to France and the Channel Islands.

Communication links to the city are excellent, with the A38 Devon Expressway providing dual carriageway links to the M5 at Exeter, or Cornwall across the Tamar. There is a mainline train station, providing direct links to London Paddington in just over 3 hours, whilst Exeter’s International Airport, about an hour’s drive away, provides a wide selection of services to UK and international destinations, including daily flights to London City Airport. Plymouth also has a ferry terminal with regular sailings to Roscoff and Santander.

DESCRIPTIONVictoria House is a spectacular Art Deco style house, with a diverse and versatile range of outbuildings, set in an elevated, private position offering 360 degree views. Surrounded by landscaped gardens of about 2.5 acres, the property is approached via a private driveway, from a no-through road and can also be accessed by air, with unrestricted helicopter flying rights.

The main house has been adapted and modernised in recent years to take advantage of its spectacular south facing views and offering spacious and adaptable accommodation over two floors, with a self-contained annexe if required. The building contains many architectural features befitting its style, including circular windows, parquet floors and a stunning decked terrace and balcony.

In addition, the property provides a significant outbuilding, currently offering a self-contained two bedroomed guest apartment which enjoys the delightful views and would be perfect for a family member or holiday apartment.

The outbuilding also provides a variety of rooms ideal for a workshop, storage and excellent garaging, particularly those with rare vehicles or boats etc. To the southern end of the outbuilding there is also a 50’6 x 40’7 space, which most recently has been used as a helicopter hangar.

With the unknown future of Plymouth City Airport, consideration may be given to further uses of this magnificent home for a variety of different residential or commercial uses, such as a city helicopter terminal, hotel spa, etc, subject to the necessary consents.

GARDENS AND GROUNDSThe private driveway is accessed via electric gates and sweeps through the gardens, flanked by large areas of level lawn and mature palm trees, leading to a generous parking and turning area to the side of the main house. The gardens have been designed and laid out to take advantage of the property’s dramatic location and offer variety and colour throughout the year. Large areas of level lawn are interspersed with ornamental gardens and terraces. There is a walled and sheltered kitchen garden with a variety of raised beds, summer house and potting shed.

Within the grounds old cottage walls form part of a sensory garden but could offer further potential, subject to the necessary consents.

In recent years the current owners acquired a further plot and have installed solar PV panels, which provide an income and contribute to the daily running of the property.
