2 Bed Bungalow, Single Let, Plymouth, PL3 6QJ £260,000

Plymouth - Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City, is one of Europe’s most vibrant waterfront cities. Located in one of the most beautiful locations imaginable, Plymouth is sandwiched between the incredible South West coastline and the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Plymouth is 37 miles south-west of Exeter and 190 miles west-south-west of London, between the mouths of the rivers Plym to the east and Tamar to the west where they join Plymouth Sound to form the boundary with Cornwall, it is also home to one of the most natural harbours in the world. To the North of Plymouth is Dartmoor National Park, extending to over 300 square miles, which provides excellent recreational facilities.
The city is home to more than 260,000 people, making it the 30th most populated city in the United Kingdom and the second-largest city in the South West, after Bristol and has a full range of shopping, educational and sporting facilities. There is mainline train service to London (Paddington) and to Penzance in West Cornwall.
There’s everything that you would expect to find in a cool, cultural city, with great shopping, arts and entertainment. But there’s also hundreds of years of history to uncover, from Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada to the Mayflower sailing in 1620, to a city rebuilt following the Blitz during World War II. With easy access to Exeter and its International Airport and a mainline train station giving direct access to London and a ferry port offering sea crossings to both France and Spain.
Plymouth is governed locally by Plymouth City Council and is represented nationally by three MPs. Plymouth's economy remains strongly influenced by shipbuilding and seafaring including ferry links to Brittany and Spain, but has tended toward a university economy since the early 2000's. It has the largest operational naval base in Western Europe – HMNB Devonport.

Compton - Compton (or Compton Gifford to give it it’s full title) is a suburb of Plymouth. Once a small village, it was developed in the 1930s and now lies between the suburbs of Peverell, Mannamead and Efford. There are two parts, Higher and Lower Compton named after two farms and now distinguished by their respective public houses. Although essentially infill development between older larger areas, Compton is distinctive in character. Around 800 AD, the Manor of Compton was appearing on maps, Coombe (a wooded valley) Ton (the Saxon word for farm).
Compton was not left out of the Civil War of 1642-46. It is recorded that Prince Maurice advanced from Compton village around the head of Lipson Creek, but after some bloody fighting, was defeated by the Roundheads and the tide. At this time his headquarters were at Widey Court.
The Compton Inn is probably the oldest building, with walls up to four feet thick, it was an old farmhouse, then a granary, a tanners and a cobblers shop.
In 1896 the Tything of Compton Gifford was incorporated into the Borough of Plymouth. This was not a popular decision with the people of Compton, as the rates in Compton were roughly half that of Plymouth. However, the deed was done, and Plymothians lived to regret it, as it cost a great deal of money to bring Compton up to the Borough's standards.
In 2022 Dylan Tippetts became a city councillor for Compton, he is the first transgender city councillor in Plymouth and the first Labour councillor for Compton.
