3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hillside Avenue, Thorpe St Andrew NR7

A charming 1920s semi-detached home set within a highly desirable location, offering character, generous living space and a wonderful sense of history, having had only two owners since it was built around a century ago. The current owner has lovingly cared for the property for over 30 years, maintaining its period appeal while thoughtfully enhancing the living accommodation.

The property is approached via a large gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads through to a bright bay-fronted sitting room which opens into the dining area. French doors lead through to a further reception room overlooking the garden, currently used as a bar area. This room forms part of a tasteful extension completed in 2016 and benefits from a skylight which provides further natural light.
The ground floor also offers a well-appointed kitchen, a practical utility room and a bathroom.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three comfortable double bedrooms, with the first and third bedrooms featuring built-in wardrobes. A shower room serves the first floor accommodation. Above the landing is access to a loft space via a drop-down ladder; the loft has been boarded, insulated and fitted with lighting.

Outside, the property enjoys a private and enclosed rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn. A storage shed provides further practicality.
