The Location

White Gates sits within a well‑established pocket of Costessey, offering a setting that feels residential and green while still keeping everyday convenience close at hand. The area is known for its accessible open spaces, with Longwater Lane’s playing fields, the Costessey Woods network and the riverside walks around the Wensum all within easy reach, giving the neighbourhood a naturally active, outdoors‑friendly feel. Norwich city centre is around ten minutes by car, making it straightforward to reach the cultural, retail and dining options of the city while enjoying a quieter suburban base.

Amenities are strong locally. Longwater Retail Park is the nearest major hub, home to Sainsbury’s and Aldi, alongside a wide range of national retailers and cafés. Everyday essentials are covered nearby too, with smaller convenience stores dotted through Old Costessey and New Costessey. Schools are close, including Costessey Primary, St Augustine’s Catholic Primary and Ormiston Victory Academy for secondary, all within a short drive.

Transport links are practical, with regular bus services running into Norwich and easy access to the A47 for wider Norfolk travel. The overall lifestyle here is one of straightforward comfort: green surroundings, reliable amenities, quick routes into the city and a neighbourhood that supports both family life and relaxed day‑to‑day living.

White Gates

A beautifully extended semi‑detached home in Costessey, offering generous living space, flexible accommodation and a layout that suits the rhythm of modern family life.

The main living room sits to the front, a comfortable everyday room that leads through to the kitchen and dining area. Here, fitted wall and base cabinetry is paired with coordinated work surfaces, a stainless‑steel sink and drainer, integrated hob and oven, and space for a fridge‑freezer and dishwasher. It is a practical and welcoming setting for family meals and relaxed entertaining.

The ground‑floor bedroom or family room offers genuine annexe potential, complete with its own wet room fitted with a walk‑in shower, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail. This private suite lends itself perfectly to independent living, guest accommodation or a generous workspace.

Upstairs, four well‑proportioned bedrooms sit off the landing. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en‑suite bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, WC and hand basin. A modern shower room serves the remaining bedrooms, featuring a shower enclosure, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail.

Outside, the sunny south‑west facing garden has been landscaped for low‑maintenance enjoyment, with tiered areas, established planting and a practical garden shed. It offers a pleasant backdrop for outdoor dining, children’s play or quiet afternoons at home.

To the front, the driveway provides four off‑road parking spaces.
