2 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

A hidden gem situated on one of Torrington’s desirable roads, nestled amongst the stunning period properties of Mill Street, sits number 28, standing proudly on its generous plot. You will notice this beautiful home surrounded by traditional cottages, with glimpses of the far-reaching views and rolling hills of the Torridge Valley, with the village of Taddiport nestled below. The property is of traditional construction, under a slate roof, with rendered and colour-washed elevations.

The accommodation comprises a spacious and light lounge/diner flowing through to a fitted shaker-style kitchen with slate-effect work surfaces and an open outlook to the rear gardens. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, with Bedroom One benefiting from built-in storage cupboards, along with a fitted shower room. 28 Mill Street benefits from many original features, including stunning stone fireplaces in Bedroom One and the lounge/diner.

I have to say, the garden is a real asset to the property, offering the benefit of two garden areas. A few steps away from the property lead you to the “Gin Terrace”, a stunning sun trap, perfect for alfresco dining evenings. Through the garden room, you are led to the fantastic mature garden. The current owner has spent considerable time and attention creating a wonderful home, including upgrading and landscaping the rear garden.

Did you know? Mill Street was the escape route taken by Royalist soldiers fleeing to the west after their defeat at the Battle of Torrington in 1646. Originally, all the houses were thatched, some of them up until the 1960s, but the only thatched buildings remaining are Rose Cottage and the Torridge Inn at the bottom of the street.

Great Torrington is a beautiful market town located on the top of a hill, surrounded by 365 acres of commons, allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka Trail, a footpath/cycleway mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way along the course of the River Torridge, as far north as Ilfracombe or inland south towards Meeth.
