2 bed terraced house for sale

The Walk, Kingswood, Wotton-Under-Edge GL12

Set beside the Little Avon River, this delightful two-bedroom cottage offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Dating back to circa 1840 and offered to the market with no onward chain, it beautifully combines period character with modern comforts.

A practical porch welcomes you inside, providing useful storage for coats and muddy boots. An unexpectedly large cupboard sits adjacent, currently housing a washing machine and tumble dryer. Beyond, the reception room forms a cosy and inviting heart to the home. Thoughtfully modernised with underfloor heating, the space feels warm and comfortable throughout the year, while the original fireplace, although capped, remains an attractive focal point. Positioned to the rear, the kitchen has been cleverly designed to maximise space and practicality. A door opens onto the riverside terrace, where the current owners have spent many mornings enjoying a coffee and watching the river gently flow by.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where the principal bedroom extends across the full width of the cottage. A comfortable double room, it benefits from a south-facing aspect that fills the space with natural light. A further traditional staircase leads to the second double bedroom, credited for its impressive ceiling height and useful loft storage. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with a shower over, a wash basin and a WC.

Outside, the property benefits from a garden at the very end of the row, although it is easy to understand why the current owners have been drawn to the riverside terrace instead. Few settings offer such a peaceful place to sit and watch the world go by. There is no parking with the property; therefore, parking is on-street nearby. We advise all prospective purchasers to review the Promap; the boundary in red belongs to this property.

Life on The Walk is shaped by its surroundings. The gentle sound of flowing water, countryside walks from the doorstep and a rich sense of history combine to create a truly special setting. Moments away are the historic Abbey Gatehouse, St Mary's Church, Kingswood Congregational Church, the village spar, the Village Inn and Kingswood Village Playgroup. Families will appreciate proximity to Kingswood Primary School and the highly regarded Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School. Despite its peaceful location, Junction 14 of the M5 is approximately 10 minutes away, providing convenient access to Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham. Rail services are currently available from Yate (approximately 7.4 miles away), while the much-anticipated Charfield railway station is expected to open in 2027.

A charming cottage in a truly special setting, now ready for someone new to write the next chapter of its story
