This large detached house on Norton Road is a generous, family-sized home set on a decent plot with mature southwest-facing gardens and countryside on the doorstep. The layout provides separate reception rooms, a kitchen linked to a light conservatory, a ground-floor office and utility, plus a double garage and driveway for several cars — practical space for everyday family life and hobbies. Sold chain free, it’s ready for a buyer seeking room to grow and adapt.
The accommodation includes three good bedrooms on the first floor, a large principal bedroom with en suite, and a versatile loft room above. Downstairs the lounge and dining room are separated by a wide archway but flow well, with bi-fold doors giving direct access to the garden and deck. The office could serve as a ground-floor bedroom and the utility has potential (subject to consents) to be reconfigured as a shower room for accessible living.
The property has clear potential for modernisation: the kitchen is functional but dated and would benefit from updating, and there is scope (subject to planning) to remove the conservatory and extend to create an open-plan family space. Buyers should note the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the house reflects 1970s-era construction elements that may need upgrading over time (windows are double glazed post-2002). These are practical considerations for budgeting improvement works.
Location is a strong selling point for families who value space and countryside walks: fields and stables lie close by, with good road links to the A1 and rail links from nearby towns for commuters. Local schools include several rated Good and one requiring improvement; local amenities are a short drive away. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home suitable for remote working.
In short: a spacious, chain-free family home with substantial upside for buyers who can invest in updating. The plot, garage and countryside setting give long-term appeal; refurbishment will unlock the property’s full potential.
