About this property

Exceptional waterfront apartment with uninterrupted sea views, elegant interiors, and secure parking — positioned moments from the heart of the city.

Occupying a prime first-floor position within one of Plymouth’s most celebrated coastal developments, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment at Rivage offers panoramic views across Plymouth Sound towards Drake’s Island and the Rame Peninsula. Just a few metres from the shoreline, the apartment forms part of a striking architect-designed building completed in 2018 — a collection of 14 contemporary homes shaped around light, comfort and coastal living.

The location is unmatched: set along Hoe Road and just west of Plymouth Hoe, Rivage is within easy walking distance of the Barbican, Millbay, and the Royal William Yard, known for their independent shops, acclaimed restaurants, and rich maritime heritage. Despite this centrality, the apartment enjoys a remarkable sense of calm, with the ever-changing movement of tide, sky and marine life unfolding directly beyond the windows.

Inside, the apartment spans a generous footprint with floor-to-ceiling glazing that draws in natural light and frames the sea as a living artwork. The open-plan layout is cleverly zoned for living, dining and cooking, anchored by a bespoke media wall. Contemporary finishes are complemented by underfloor heating throughout, supported by triple-glazed windows and a heat recovery ventilation system for quiet, energy-efficient living year-round.

The kitchen pairs elegance with practicality, featuring sleek handle-less cabinetry and integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, hob, extractor, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A central island provides extra storage and space for sociable dining.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has a private en suite shower room finished in neutral tones, while a second bathroom serves the guest bedroom. A separate internal storeroom/study offers a valuable space for remote working or additional storage.

From the main living area, a glazed door opens onto a deep, covered balcony — a front-row seat to the movement of the water and shifting light, equally suited to quiet mornings or entertaining friends.

A secure, recessed parking space is included within the gated undercroft garage, accessed via lift from the lobby. The development also features rooftop photovoltaic panels that help power communal areas, supporting its excellent EPC rating (B - 82).

The apartment is held on a 999-year lease from 2015 (with 993 years remaining) and includes a 1/14 share of the freehold. The building is professionally managed, and the current service charge for 2024/25 is £2120.14, which was due in January and is due again in July, expected to reduce we understand from the seller, once upcoming remedial works are completed. Government-funded cladding remediation is scheduled to begin shortly, with completion expected within six to nine months.

The owner has invested in maintaining and presenting the apartment to a high standard, with select furniture items available by separate negotiation.
