2 bedroom terraced house for sale

STEP THROUGH THE FRENCH DOORS AND ONTO A PRIVATE PATIO where stone steps rise gently to a tranquil pond, framed by lush planting. A charming summerhouse beckons for long afternoons with a favourite book and a glass of wine, while a long pathway leads you through this surprisingly large garden brimming with vibrant flowers, flourishing shrubs, fruit bushes, and homegrown vegetables - perfect for those with Green Fingers! Tucked away, the garden offers the perfect sanctuary to savour the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood yet it's so close to the hustle and bustle of our thriving town.
The heart of this two bedroomed terraced cottage is an inviting open-plan living space, where a cosy stove warms evenings of conversation, and the modern kitchen and dining extension blend style with practicality. Upstairs, two bedrooms await along with a contemporary shower room.
It's known as "Little Jug", just the place for a "Big Hug".

Things You Need To Know - Mix of single glazing with secondary panels and uPVC windows.
Electric heaters with underfloor heating in the kitchen and dining room.

Owner's Comments - "Little Jug" has been our family home since 1985, and we have enjoyed every minute living here. We bought it particularly for the garden which has been a delight over the years. The pond eventually found its right place after we abandoned 2 others, the trees have matured and the fruit crops well: rhubarb, blackcurrant, redcurrant, plum, eating apple, cooking apple and pear. It is a garden which we have loved sharing with others: opening for the garden trails, inviting folks around for drinks or supper and when everyone has left enjoying the last rays of the western sun with a nightcap.

The house is quirky and small, that cannot be denied, but it is welcoming, cosy and the addition of the kitchen extension has brought it up to modern standards. It has quite a history and we have had visitors from Australia (I’m still in touch with them) who had ancestors living here who migrated after World War II as Ten Pound Poms. Also, a lady from Wales who as a child spent her summer holidays here. It was great to hear the stories and how the place has changed over the years. Some of the benefits of living in an older property!
