Property description
The Royal William Yard is a wonderful 8-acre site situated at Cremyll Point and enjoys magnificent views up the River Tamar and across to Cornwall. Originally constructed in 1824 under the supervision of the renowned architect and engineer Sir John Rennie, this magnificent array of Grade I Listed limestone and granite buildings occupies a fabulous waterside location and lies at the heart of the regeneration of both Stonehouse and Plymouth. The Navy withdrew from the Yard in 1992, leaving behind these elegant and towering edifices which have since been imaginatively regenerated by the acclaimed developers Urban Splashrenowned for their successful revival of old, derelict and architecturally significant sites.
