Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this substantial four double bedroom detached home has been owned by the same family since it was built in the 1980s. Providing approximately 1940 sqft / 180m2 of accommodation including the garage, it is a genuine family home with generous proportions, excellent storage and a layout that gives everyone room to spread out.

The property has been incredibly well maintained over the years and is ready to be enjoyed straight away, while still offering plenty of scope for a new owner to put their own stamp on it over time and space to extend if needed (subject to relevant planning permissions). A recently installed boiler is another welcome addition, while the part boarded loft provides useful further storage on top of the already generous amount available throughout the house.

The ground floor works particularly well for family life. A spacious entrance hall leads through to an impressive full length lounge measuring almost 24ft, giving plenty of room for different seating areas and family gatherings. Double doors connect through to the separate dining room, creating the option to keep the rooms distinct day to day or open them up when entertaining. The dining room also enjoys an outlook across the rear garden but could be used as an office or scope to knock through to the kitchen to create a beautiful open plan kitchen diner.

The kitchen is a generous size with an excellent amount of worktop and cupboard space as well as room for everyday dining. Alongside this is a separate utility room, keeping the washing machine, tumble dryer and day to day laundry away from the main living areas. There is also a downstairs WC and direct access into the integral garage, adding to the practicality of the layout.

Upstairs, one of the biggest advantages is the bedroom accommodation. All four bedrooms are genuine doubles with built in wardrobes, making this an excellent long term option for a growing family where older children need their own space. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from built in storage and its own en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom complete with both a bath and separate shower.

Outside is where the setting really comes into its own. There is ample off road parking to the front together with the integral garage, while the property sits alongside a woodland area and pathway, meaning there is only an immediate neighbour to one side.

The rear garden is private, quiet and considerably more interesting than first meets the eye. A paved patio creates space for outdoor seating and entertaining before opening onto a generous lawn surrounded by established planting. Tucked away behind the mature hedge is a further hidden section of garden with a greenhouse, shed and vegetable growing area, ideal for anyone who enjoys gardening or simply wants additional outdoor space away from the main lawn.

This is the sort of home that ticks a lot of the boxes families spend years looking for: four proper double bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, an en-suite, separate utility, excellent storage, a garage, plenty of parking and a generous garden, all wrapped up in a quiet position that still keeps the amenities of Newmarket close at hand.

Location

Noel Murless Drive is conveniently positioned on the northern side of Newmarket, with the High Street and town centre approximately a mile away. Everyday amenities are particularly accessible, with supermarkets, convenience shopping, leisure facilities and playing fields all close by; Tesco Extra on Fordham Road is around half a mile away. Newmarket railway station is approximately 1.2 miles from the property and provides regular services towards Cambridge and Ipswich, making the location useful for commuters as well as families wanting to stay well connected.

Newmarket itself offers far more than its famous racing heritage. Known internationally as the Home of Horseracing, the town has two racecourses, the National Horseracing Museum and the historic gallops, alongside a good mix of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and everyday services. Excellent access to the A14 and A11 provides convenient access to Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Ely and further surrounding hubs.

For families, there are several schools within easy reach. St Louis Catholic Academy and Laureate Community Academy are both around half a mile away; at their most recent 2025 inspections, St Louis was judged Good across education, behaviour, leadership and early years, with Outstanding personal development, while Laureate was judged Good across each of the main inspection areas. Paddocks Primary School, approximately 0.7 miles away, was rated Good at its May 2024 inspection. For secondary education, Newmarket Academy is also around half a mile away and was rated Good overall. School admissions and catchment eligibility should always be confirmed directly with the relevant authority.
