Guide Price £325,000 - £350,000. Set in one of Hellesdon’s most desirable spots, this extended 1950s home rests quietly beside an open green, where mature trees and birdsong frame each day. Its frontage speaks of space and substance, with room for more than the usual — cars, hobbies, perhaps even adventures waiting to begin. The detached garage is more than a place for tools; it’s a setting for creation and curiosity. Inside, light moves easily from room to room, spilling through bay windows and French doors that open the home to air and garden. The living spaces flow with an easy rhythm, blending the familiar warmth of a fireplace with the quiet confidence of modern design. The kitchen, designed for company, invites evenings filled with laughter. Upstairs, the rooms feel calm and generous, their views catching soft glimpses of sky and garden. The bathroom, all elegance and calm, feels almost timeless, a place to pause. Beyond the back door, a garden stretches out in welcome, private and green, holding the promise of long afternoons and unhurried weekends. Altogether, this is a home that balances the steady comfort of the past with the freedom of the present, quietly confident, quietly exceptional.
