About

Stonehouse occupies a western portion of Plymouth's city centre, bordered by the River Tamar and Plymouth Sound. The area is historically significant, containing the Royal William Yard, a large former naval victualling depot constructed from local limestone. Its street grid reflects early 19th-century planning, with terraces housing a mix of residential, student, and commercial units. The waterfront provides views of naval vessels and ferry traffic moving through the harbour.

The neighbourhood functions with a practical character, hosting the city's main hospital complex and several maritime-related businesses. Union Street, a major thoroughfare, runs through its heart. Residential streets feature a range of property types, from converted Georgian houses to modern apartment blocks. Melville Road offers a stretch of local shops and services, catering to the immediate community. The area's naval heritage is visibly embedded in its architecture and ongoing maritime connections.
