"I’ve had so many happy times here over the years. It’s a quiet and calm space to come home to. The garden is sunny and private so in the summer I am usually found there reading or pottering around. I have a sofa on the decking area which enjoys sunshine from 2pm through to the evening. The downstairs space is cosy and great for small gatherings with friends. Finally. I’ve enjoyed the many and varied walking and running routes right on my doorstep."

The home

A stylish and vibrant two bedroom period home on Grove Park Terrace, with a private garden and inviting living/dining area. Entrance is into a traditional hallway, with the staircase to your right. On the first left is the dining area, opening to the living room. Due to the dual aspect, natural light floods the room, and features include a fireplace, multiple chimney breasts and bamboo flooring underfoot. At the back of the ground floor is the spacious kitchen, with plenty of worktop surfaces. Heading to the first floor, the primary bedroom spans the width of the home, and at the rear is a second double bedroom looking on the garden and a contemporary three piece bathroom. EPC has been ordered.

The outside space

The plot begins with a low maintenance front yard, with flower/shrub bed and wooden bin storage. The rear garden is very private and a suntrap, facing southwest. Off of the living room there is a wooden decking area, followed by a stone patio and mature lawn. At the back of the garden is a shed used for storage.
