Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer at BLACK HAY EstateAgents comments: “It’s easy for me, after almost 30 Yearsin the estate agency industry, to simply comment aboutthe exceptional value for money that Normanhurst offersin comparison to similar homes which I have sold inGlasgow for more than twice the price, or in Edinburgh for3 times the price, however… that seems secondary to mewhen one considers that the current owners enjoyedNormanhurst for half a century.

No doubt developers will eye the opportunities that boththe house and it’s substantial gardens/plot potentiallyoffer… however what value does one place on a happyhome which has served the owners for 50 Years… thewalled gardens capturing wonderful private moments,encouraging one to take time-out to contemplate, topotter gently around the gardens, echoing to the sound ofhappy children running around… reflect on that halfcentury… how does one value a Happy Home?

In my view, and more importantly the owners, the hope isthat Normanhurst welcomes new owners who enjoy it asmuch as Dr, Mrs Auld and their family have.” To Viewprivately please telephone BLACK HAY 01292 283606.
