Summary - 157 HELLESDON ROAD NORWICH NR6 5EJ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Private plot approx. 0.75 acres (stms), rare for NR6
Set well back from Hellesdon Road, this 1930s detached family home sits on a private plot of approximately 0.75 acres (stms), offering rare outdoor space within NR6. The house provides versatile living across just under 1,600 sq ft, with four reception rooms including a 24' sitting room flowing into a glazed garden room, plus an open-plan kitchen/diner and ground-floor study. A detached double garage with a built-in pit and a sweeping driveway offer generous parking and practical workshop/storage options.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a large single; the principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower. The accommodation has been updated in parts (bathrooms and some fittings) but retains period character and neutral finishes ready for a buyer to personalise. The tiered, tree-lined rear garden provides multiple seating areas, planting zones and a family play area, creating a private, countryside feel close to the city.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold, has mains gas heating and double glazing fitted since 2002, but has an EPC rating of D and council tax is above average. Local primary and secondary schools listed nearby currently show Ofsted ratings of "Requires improvement"; buyers with school-age children should check catchment details. The scale of the plot and mature landscaping will demand ongoing maintenance and offers scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning.
This home will suit families wanting generous outdoor space and flexible living in a well-established neighbourhood, or buyers seeking a substantial plot with potential for improvement. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the seclusion, room proportions and scope the plot provides.
