Summary - Highlands, Costessey, Norwich NR8 5EA
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious renovation project with garage, large garden and extension potential.
Chain free detached house at end of quiet cul-de-sac
Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Costessey, this detached three-bedroom home offers over 1,625 sq ft of flexible living and clear scope to extend (STP). The property has a generous driveway and integral garage, a 22' sitting room and a conservatory with French doors that open onto a private, tree-lined rear garden. The layout lends itself to a sympathetic renovation or modernisation to create open-plan family living.
The ground floor includes a separate dining room that could be opened into the kitchen to improve flow, plus an entrance hallway with a convenient two-piece WC. Upstairs are three double bedrooms with integrated storage and a family shower room. A separate external storage room adjacent to the garage offers potential to be converted into further living space subject to approvals.
Important practical notes: the house requires modernisation throughout and is being sold chain free, which will suit buyers wanting a project. The build dates (late 1960s–1970s) mean buyers should allow for mid-life maintenance and updating; council tax is above average. The south-facing, non-overlooked garden and quiet position are strong lifestyle pluses for families seeking outdoor space and privacy.
This property will appeal to families or buyers after a renovation opportunity in a comfortable, well-served suburb. Nearby primary and secondary schools (including a highly rated academy) and good broadband speeds support family and homeworking needs. With planning and investment, the house has genuine scope to be transformed into a larger, contemporary family home.
