London Road, Biggleswade, SG18

Normanton is a very attractive detached house with a 192 foot rear garden and enjoys a plot approaching 0.2 of an acre with huge scope to double the size by adding a double storey extension to the rear to create a very large four bedroom detached house. Normanton was built we think in the 1920s and was originally the house for the second brewer of Green King Brewery; not only a prestigious position that warranted a property in a convenient location close to and within walking distance of the town centre and train station.

The garden is 192 feet in length and the house sits in a plot approaching 0.2 of an acre. The garden has been the owners pride and joy over the last fifty years and comprises of two elements or sections. Directly behind the house is a patio area and steps up to a beautiful lawned area with a huge variety of shrubs, trees and bushes with a lovely summerhouse, fitted with light and power, which is most enjoyable in the summer; this may be for sale by separate negotiation. The lawn meanders its way through mature trees and shrubs to the less formal area that has been an allotment for the last 50 years; there is a greenhouse with power connected, again this could be available by separate negotiation.

There is also a water pipe that allows the garden to be watered and irrigated, to the rear of the garden is a beautiful Walnut tree; the seed of this tree belonged to the owners father and was planted many years ago. The garden and allotment has been enjoyed by the whole family including the grandchildren who dug muddy man traps for Grandad to fall into, bivowacs, badminton and cricket.

To the rear of the house is a detached garage and store. This has light and power and could very simply be converted to a home office or an annexe to the main house. To the front of the property is a block paved driveway for several cars.
