A spacious family home in a prime location to the east of Norwich city centre has come up for sale for £750,000. 

8 Stanmore Road has been in the same family for more than 60 years and comes to the market for the first time since then.  

Selling agents Brown&Co said: “The house is wonderfully positioned, enjoying fine views over its picturesque south-facing gardens and grounds which offer an incredible amount of privacy.”

The elegant sitting room features an open fireplace and a charming bay window looks out over the grounds to the south.  

The dining room enjoys a similar arrangement and siding doors open to provide access out over the terrace. The kitchen is positioned to the front of the house, which joins an inner hall with side access leading out to the garden. There is also a useful cloakroom and utility area.

An annexe is joined at the side of the house. Known as 9a, it acts as a superb attribute to the main house, boasting its own separate access from the front and rear. The annexe is completely self-contained and enjoys its own kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and shower room.

The current owners have used the annexe to derive an income with assured shorthold tenants and any new buyer could continue with this arrangement or incorporate the accommodation into the main house.

The gardens and grounds act as major feature to the house and this home arguably enjoys the best position on Stanmore Road. The property is approached into a large, shingled driveway with parking offered for several vehicles and there is a side access which flows round into the rear gardens. 

The south-facing gardens are magnificent and feature a large terrace area which sweeps across the rear façade with steps leading down onto the main lawned garden. A superb range of flower beds and borders can be enjoyed all year-round with mature shrub and hedged borders providing a great deal of privacy.
