CALLING all fans of Terry’s Chocolate Orange (or anyone with a spare £850k).
A property featured in a ’70s advert for the popular chocolate has just gone up for sale – and it’s a total dream house.
The idyllic cottage on Thorpe Road in Peterborough dates back to the 18th century, with a quirky thatched roof, a huge garden and a beautiful interior.
Known as “Foxgloves” the grade II listed property was once three stone cottages, before undergoing renovations over the last few years.
It has six bedrooms – four in the main house and another two in a separate annexe (which also has its own utilities) and a cosy kitchen, complete with gas-fired Aga.
The charming property has heaps of character, with wooden beams, an inglenook fire place and exposed stone walls.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also an orangery and a skylight.
Outside the cottage you’ll find half an acre of beautifully-maintained gardens with a pond and a water feature.
According to the property information, “the bottom of the garden could potentially be used for a separate vegetable plot or perhaps a badminton court or swimming pool.”
There’s also a double garage and plenty of off-road parking – for all those parties you’ll definitely be hosting.
“Foxgloves is grade II listed and was formerly three stone cottages built in the early 18th century,” the description reads.
“Some 40 years ago its photograph adorned the box of a famous brand of chocolates!
“It has undergone much renovation over recent years, in particular a complete rethatch in 2017 and now is a charming, well-maintained and spacious four-bedroom cottage with a completely separate two-bedroom annexe with its own utilities.
“The annexe is presently used as a separate dwelling but equally it can be incorporated into the main house with access off the more recently constructed orangery.”
It’s also perfect for commuters, with Peterborough station only a mile and a half away.

Earlier this week, we told you Creme Egg-inspired rum is here and it’d make an egg-cellent Easter tipple.
We also revealed one dad eats all his wife’s chocolates and then fills the box with brown sauce so she won’t notice.
And we showed you couples test whether eating dinner in their pants helps them lose weight just like Katie Price and Kris Boyson.
