Practical points to note: the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so some areas may benefit from updating to modern standards. Services, systems and appliances have not been tested and no guarantees are provided, so buyers should commission their own surveys and checks. The property sits in Council Tax band E and local crime levels are above average. Hellesdon High School is nearby but currently rated as 'Requires improvement' by Ofsted.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-proportioned family house with significant garden and outbuilding space.
