Threadneedle Street, Bergh Apton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

Set back along the peaceful, picturesque Threadneedle Street stands Failte. Failte is a substantial, individually built home offering generous accommodation, captivating gardens, and breath-taking rural views! Constructed in the late 1980s by a renowned local developer, this impressive residence was thoughtfully designed with proportion, privacy and practicality in mind.

Approached via a wide and sweeping driveway, Failte makes an immediate statement. There’s ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with additional space ideal for a trailer, boat or even a motorhome, rarely seen in village homes of this style. A purpose-built pond adds a charming touch to the frontage, while a substantial double garage, complete with electric doors, power, lighting and internal access to the house, caters perfectly to modern family life.

To the rear, Failte continues to impress. A beautifully unspoilt view unfolds beyond a charming picket fence, first over a neighbour’s manicured garden, then stretching across open farmland. It’s a view that changes with the seasons and never gets old. The generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, making it both family-friendly and a blank canvas for green-fingered buyers. A spacious patio invites summer entertaining, while a greenhouse, storage shed, and removable dog kennel add welcome practicality.

Internally, the home is every bit as spacious as the exterior suggests. A welcoming hallway leads into a large sitting room, complete with a feature wood burner. This in turn flows seamlessly into a formal dining room, creating an open, airy environment ideal for entertaining. The dining area also opens directly onto the patio via sliding doors, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen, with its lovely garden outlook, sits adjacent to the dining room and offers exciting potential to be combined into a striking open-plan kitchen-diner, especially with the added bonus of further extension potential, subject to the relevant consents. A versatile breakfast room provides space for informal dining or an additional reception area and leads into a useful utility room. A conservatory extends the footprint even further, offering an ideal retreat with views of the garden.

Upstairs, Five well-proportioned bedrooms are accessed via a spacious landing. The principal bedroom benefits from a Five-piece en suite, while a modern family shower room serves the remaining rooms. Three of the bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, adding to the excellent storage throughout. With solar panels in place,

Failte is both generous in space and conscious in energy efficiency, a rare and compelling blend. Offered with no onward chain.
