Description

This property is ideally situated off Heywood Road, set back from the road upon a individual position and offering a spacious plot. Heywood Road is a highly desirable area having a beautiful assortment of many period and individually built properties and easy access to the town centre. Located in Diss, a historic market town on the south Norfolk borders, residents can enjoy a wide range of amenities and facilities, including a mainline railway station with direct service to London Liverpool Street and Norwich. The town is known for its beautiful architecture, including a stunning 14th century church and traditional timber-framed buildings and stunning Mere. The high street offers an array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, giving the town a unique and vibrant atmosphere.

Having undergone substantial refurbishment just five years ago, this property has been beautifully updated to a high specification and remains in show-home condition. The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out, featuring well-proportioned bedrooms, with particular attention drawn to the generously sized principal bedroom. This room boasts vaulted ceilings and the luxury of en-suite facilities, which along with the main bathroom, are impeccably presented and designed to a superior standard. The main living area is open-plan, cleverly divided into three functional spaces with a lounge, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with ample storage cupboards, integrated appliances, and a large floating island with granite worktops. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room that offers excellent room for white goods and additional storage.

Great care and attention to detail were taken during the refurbishment of the bungalow, with high-quality fixtures and fittings installed alongside meticulous craftsmanship. Major improvements include a new heating system with updated pipework and radiators (both bathrooms enjoy the added luxury of underfloor heating). The gas-fired boiler comes with the remainder of a 10-year warranty. Additionally, the property was rewired, replastered, re insulated and fully redecorated, with new flooring throughout, including premium oak engineered flooring in the main living spaces and bedrooms.  All windows and doors have been replaced and come with 10-year guarantees, adding further peace of mind for the new owner.

Externally, the property is accessed via impressive electric gates framed by attractive brick walling, creating a pleasing and memorable first impression. These lead to a recently landscaped and generously sized front garden, featuring a newly (5 years old ) installed tarmac driveway that provides extensive off-road parking. The driveway continues passed the bungalow and leads to a detached double garage, which includes the luxury of an electric roller door, side door access, and a fully boarded loft space for additional storage. The rear gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with low maintenance in mind. A large paved patio area, directly abutting the rear of the bungalow, provides an ideal space for alfresco dining and seamlessly transitions to a spacious lawn. Beyond the garage lies a newly constructed office/studio, offering a versatile space for various uses. Further to the rear, there is a timber shed and a large garden house, perfectly positioned to enjoy the west-facing aspect and capture the afternoon sun.
