Sought After Locality!
Private Driveway
Secluded Plot Set Back from Road
Just under half an acre (STS) on Normanston Drive. Huge scope to extend (STPP), wood burner, long drive and a garden you won’t outgrow. No chain. View early.
Some houses you notice as soon as you turn into the drive, and this is one of them. Brick pillars mark the entrance, and from there a long block-paved driveway takes you up past the lawn and the mature trees to a house set well back from Normanston Drive. It sits on a plot of just under half an acre (STS), and there are very few homes in this part of town with this much land around them.
The house has been well loved, but it now needs updating, and that’s where the opportunity lies. There’s around 1,641 sq ft inside, so the next owner has plenty of space to work with and can put their own stamp on every room. With a plot this size, there’s also huge scope to extend, subject to planning, whether that means a bigger kitchen, extra bedrooms or something more ambitious. You’d be buying the setting and the potential first, and there’s no onward chain to hold things up.
The lounge/diner sets the tone. It runs the full depth of the house, so you have the wood burner for winter evenings at one end, and sliding doors that open straight onto the garden in summer at the other. It’s a room built for family get-togethers, Sunday lunches and children running in and out.
The garden is what will win people over, though. It stretches out behind the house in a long run of lawn, edged with established trees and greenery that give it a lovely sense of privacy. A greenhouse sits halfway down for anyone who fancies growing their own, and even after an extension there would still be plenty of room for play areas or vegetable beds. On a bright autumn afternoon, with the sun coming through the trees, it feels a long way from a town garden. Upstairs, the main bedroom has its own en-suite. With a garage and parking for several cars as well, the house suits a growing family or anyone who has outgrown a smaller plot.
Opportunities like this rarely come to the market, and when they do they don’t stay there long. We’d strongly recommend booking a viewing early.

The rear garden is the standout feature of the property. A paved patio leads directly off the lounge/diner, ideal for outdoor dining. Beyond, the garden stretches a long way into the distance, mainly laid to lawn with a pathway running its length. Mature trees, shrubs and established hedging give colour and privacy, with tall evergreens screening the far end. There is a greenhouse, a timber shed and raised beds for growing your own. The plot extends to just under half an acre (STS), offering huge scope to extend or add outbuildings (STPP). A garden of this size is rarely found in such a sought-after location.
