Full Details for 8 Bedroom Detached for sale in Plymouth, PL1 :
LOCATION 'Mount Stone House' is tucked away in a remarkable setting, very close to the renowned Grade I Listed buildings of Royal William Yard, on the south western corner of Plymouth's waterfront. The property is approached by a private drive, in the rapidly changing western corner of the waterfront about half a mile from Millbay and adjoining the mainly Georgian Durnford Street. Designated as a Conservation Area and restored in the 1990's as part of an Urban Development Corporation, the location is dominated by the extraordinary and remarkable Grade I buildings of Royal William Yard, the former Naval Victualling Yard. The imposing and substantial stone structures of the yard now comprise a variety of excellent restaurants, boutique retail establishments, a bakery and a large number of exceptional apartments.
The City of Plymouth is well known for its marine facilities and history which includes the historic Barbican, the large University, Theatre Royal, National Marine Aquarium and cross channel ferryport to Roscoff in Brittany and Santander in Northern Spain. Plymouth Sound is renowned for its marine events including transatlantic sailing and, more recently, in 2013 the America's Cup Yacht Race. The winners of the Plymouth event were the New Zealand team, who occupied Mount Stone House for the duration of their stay in the City.
DESCRIPTION The detached house is noted in its listing as being "mid late 18th century, south wing rebuilt 1780 following a fire, extended and altered circa 1833 by John Foulston." The listing continues to note the architectural intricacies of this building in considerable depth. Pevsner in his "Buildings of England Devon" describes as follows . "At the south end of Cremyll Street, Mount Stone, tucked away in the bowl of a former quarry."
The present owners have been in occupation since 1999. They have painstakingly restored this exceptional house into a welcoming and magnetically appealing family residence with its versatile accommodation and array of facilities. The gardens have been restored to glory, set within the high stone walls and rockfaces, now an easily maintained sequence of lawns, terraces, kitchen gardens and elevated areas. The house overlooks the nearby water of Stonehouse Lake, the Mayflower Marina, the majestic buildings of Royal William Yard and the River Tamar. There are lovely views across the water from much of the house, extending over many miles of the estuary. These views can also be enjoyed from the gardens.
