Discover Plot Five, a unique three-bedroom terraced townhouse nestled in the northern corner of Factory Cooperage. This elegant residence boasts a prime location with its main entrance approached via a tranquil courtyard.  The central courtyard is a landscaped amenity at the heart of Factory Cooperage for residents to enjoy. A charming colonnade envelope the inner edge of the perimeter building, enhancing the overall aesthetic.  The back of the Plot Five fans out to the north-western end of the Yard, giving a sense of light and openness from within and enhancing its connection with the development’s maritime past.

Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a generously sized entrance hall, granting access to the ground floor double bedroom complete with its own ensuite bathroom and a further, well-appointed family bathroom.  Ascending the original granite staircase to the first floor, you'll find an impressive open plan, dual aspect living space enjoying views of the yard and glimpses of the sea beyond.   Another versatile room can also be found on this level which would serve as a further double bedroom or a separate enclosed snug.  Either way, the room offers delightful views of the courtyard below.

Venturing to the mezzanine level, you'll discover the loft-style master bedroom, complete with an ensuite bathroom.  This impressive space also accommodates a spacious study area, perfect for your home office needs. Plot Five combines comfort and style with versatility, making it an ideal place to call home.

Originally built as a hub for crafting and restoring casks destined for the storage of rum, salt, and fresh water, the Factory Cooperage and its transformation mark a pivotal phase in the Yard's vibrant reinvention. In 2015, the eastern half of the perimeter building underwent a meticulous refurbishment, giving rise to Ocean Studios. This dynamic facility now offers workshop and studio spaces for local artists, complemented by a thriving café and gallery.

 

Award winning Poppy Developments has embarked on an exciting journey to revitalise the remaining western half of the perimeter building. This ambitious project entails the conversion of the existing buildings into 24 exclusive townhouses, providing a rare opportunity to own an iconic home in this unique setting.

The architects and developers have taken great care to preserve the historical charm and original features, paying homage to the Yard's industrial heritage. Each home will feature a generous mezzanine level, with one side left open to create an impressive double-height space on the first floor. Abundant natural light will grace these areas, courtesy of new discreet rooflights, the restoration of existing ones, and in some cases, the revival of dormant false windows. Several residences will enjoy enhanced natural lighting through the addition of new balconies crafted from the historic loading bays.

In keeping with the Yard's distinctive character, the specifications are set to be top-tier, with interior and exterior designs exuding both style and respect for the overall design philosophy. Expect an array of features, including exposed stone and brickwork, elegant windows, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed iron roof structures, columns, and 'charred' timber elements, creating a captivating aesthetic contrast.

Underfloor heating to the ground floors introduces a touch of modern luxury living to these spaces, while column radiators on subsequent floors offer a nod to tradition, seamlessly blending the old with the new.

The existing courtyard will be thoughtfully landscaped, providing a communal outdoor haven for residents. Most of the homes facing this inner courtyard will enjoy direct access from their living areas through bespoke sliding glass doors. There is provision for bike hoop situated within the courtyard for residents to use.

All new homes at Factory Cooperage come with a 999-year lease (starting from 2023).  Each home has been built by local craftsmen and will be warrantied with an architect’s certificate, ensuring that all building regulations and standards have been met to ensure peace of mind.

Specification:

Individually designed, premium fitted kitchens with integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a washer dryer.

Bosch appliances.

Contemporary bathrooms with porcelain tiles and heated towel rails.

Underfloor heating to the ground floors.

Highly efficient gas central heating.

Superfast fibre optic broadband.

Patios and hard landscaped areas.

Allocated parking.

6-year Warranty.

The Royal William Yard (RWY), named after King William IV, whose statue dominates the imposing arched entranceway, was originally designed by Sir John Rennie and constructed between 1825 and 1835, as a factory and supply depot for the victualing requirements of the entire Royal Navy Fleet. One of Britain’s most important groups of historic military buildings, it contains the largest collection of Grade I listed military buildings in Europe. The complex forms a significant part of Plymouth’s maritime and naval heritage and remains a significant and well-loved landmark today.

In 1999 Urban Splash began working alongside the Southwest Regional Development Agency to transform the redundant Yard into a thriving, sustainable mixed-use community. Urban Splash began to breathe new life into the complex, tasking architects, Ferguson Mann and Gillespie Yunnie, to design the units with maximise flexibility and to provide for a modern mixed-use complex, whilst retaining as much of the character and as many of the original features of the complex as possible.  To date, Urban Splash has delivered over 220 new homes, 40,000sqft of offices, 32,500sqft of commercial space and a small marina.

The Yard is now a thriving community, offering a wealth of residential, commercial, retail and leisure facilities.  Situated on a 15-acre site which enjoys dramatic views across The Hamoaze and Plymouth Sound, the yard also provides a stunning and unique backdrop to a programme of markets, cultural events, and exhibitions throughout the year.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
