St Andrews Park

Nestled within an exclusive and highly popular location, this handsome and characterful home boasts a wealth of period features, alongside the functionality to accompany the ever-changing demands of modern-day family life. Almost 1,500 sq ft of accommodation, including an integrated garage, makes for a well-proportioned home within easy reach of the city, while retaining the character and tranquillity of a far more rural setting.

A welcoming and wide hall provides direct access to all ground floor accommodation, including the splendid kitchen/breakfast room, injecting an excellent sociable layout into an otherwise unashamedly traditional and timeless design. A living room to the rear of the home houses the ornate fireplace, complemented by dado rails and coving. Via double doors, the dining room can be pulled into this versatile space or indeed given a definition of its own when required. Sash windows to the front pull light all the way through these interlinked rooms, right the way to the double doors leading to the rear garden.

The first floor is home to no less than four well-proportioned bedrooms, including the generous principal suite showcasing high ceilings, more character features, and of course, a well-appointed shower room en-suite. The three further bedrooms provide excellent versatility, with any able to serve as additional receptions/studies, and all are well-served by the central family bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed private garden reveals a low-maintenance oasis in which to tend to the well-stocked raised flower beds and enjoy time with friends and family within a fine setting. A most impressive addition to the garden is the newly installed office/studio, bringing yet more adaptability to this remarkable traditional home with far more to offer than meets the eye. To the front, off-road parking is complemented by the integrated single garage.
 

ST ANDREWS PARK The countryside community of St Andrews Park is an elegant collection of homes located in the popular Norwich suburb of Thorpe St Andrew. Approximately 4 miles from the centre of the cathedral city, the area is well-connected with the train station being approximately a ten minute drive away, and Norwich Airport around 15 minutes drive, via the easily accessible Northern Distributor Road.

Within Thorpe St Andrew, there are various facilities including a health club, Sainsbury's supermarket, and local primary and secondary schools, rated 'Good' by OFSTED. The attractive River Green, with its delightful riverside setting, is home to numerous shops and businesses, really giving the feel of village life. Within a short stroll you'll find a cafe, several pubs, an Indian restaurant, Chinese takeaway and fish and chip shop, and day-to-day living is well provided for by the excellent range of local shops on the doorstep.

Neighbouring Thorpe Marshes are delightful, popular with dog walkers, bird watchers and nature lovers and the River Yare is also just a few minutes' walk away, providing mooring for boats and a launch site for smaller craft. With a wonderful mix of urban access, the atmosphere of a small town, and neighbouring countryside, Thorpe St Andrew offers the perfect balanced lifestyle.

The property sits on a major route with public transport into Norwich, which has everything you would desire of a vibrant regional capital. Norwich has a modern cultural feel, a real sense of history preserved, with beautiful heritage, dynamic night-life, two major shopping malls and Norwich's infamous Market. Such is the wide variety of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants that the Norwich Lanes won the great British high street of the year.

Norwich is located approximately 40 minutes from the delightful North Norfolk coast rolling countryside, whilst still being a vibrant, ever evolving city.
