DESCRIPTION

This beautifully proportioned modern detached property offers over 3,233 sq. ft of versatile accommodation, including an attached double garage. Set within approximately 0.3 acres (STMS), the home is ideally suited for family living and entertaining, with ample off-road parking and landscaped surroundings that provide both privacy and curb appeal.

The front door opens into an enclosed porch, which leads to a set of double doors opening into the spacious entrance hall (13’9 x 10’4). From here, a staircase rises to the first floor. The ground floor also includes a convenient WC and a utility room, fully equipped with built-in cabinets, a sink, a water softener, space and plumbing for laundry appliances, and door opening into the double garage.

The open-plan kitchen (16’1 x 13’3), dining, and living area (22’10 x 15’3), enhanced by three sets of French doors and an impressive skylight, seamlessly connects with the garden, flooding the space with natural light. The dining area and family room form the rear extension and benefit from underfloor heating. The rear extension was completed in 2022. The bespoke fitted kitchen features an extensive range of built-in cabinets with hardwood worktops, a central island with a quartz surface, and a gas range cooker with an overhead extractor. There's also space and plumbing for a freestanding dishwasher, as well as room for an American-style fridge-freezer. The dining and living areas are further enhanced by the comfort of underfloor heating.

There are three additional reception rooms. To the front of the property is a room featuring an attractive bay window, currently used as a study (13’3 x 10’2). A sliding glazed door leads into a cosy snug/TV room (11’0 x 9’11). The formal sitting room (27’0 x 13’11), extending over 27 feet in length, showcases a charming brick fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove, enjoys dual-aspect views over the rear garden, and includes a set of French doors set into a bay, providing both light and access to the outdoor space.

The staircase ascends from the entrance hall, highlighted by a stunning stained-glass window that bathes the spacious landing in natural light.

On the first floor, there are five generously sized bedrooms, served by two en suites along with a beautifully appointed contemporary bathroom. Notably, the second bedroom also offers an adjoining room (15’6 x 6’7), which could be transformed into a spacious dressing room, study, or nursery.

The principal bedroom (19’4 x 13’11) boasts an attractive bay window, a walk-in wardrobe with loft access, and a stylish en suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail. Bedrooms 2 (17’0 x 10’9) and 5 (13’1 x 7’2) are connected by a modern Jack & Jill shower room, offering convenience and privacy. Bedrooms 3 (13’3 x12’9) and 4 (13’3 x 11’4) benefit from built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage space. The contemporary family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

OUTSIDE

The property is accessed via a shared driveway leading to a double garage and ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Set on an exceptional plot of approximately 0.3 acres, this spacious garden is a rare find so close to the city centre, offering a fantastic family-friendly outdoor space. The rear garden is exceptionally private, with trees along the boundary from the neighbouring school’s playing field providing full natural screening. Primarily laid to lawn, the garden features a large, terraced area at the bottom of the plot, designed to capture the late afternoon sun. Two attractive borders with mature shrubs, a rockery, and a terrace directly off the house complete the exterior.
__________

SITUATION

The property is ideally situated on Ipswich Road, just a short walk from Norwich city centre. Furthermore, bus stops are only one minute away, offering superb public transport connections. Residents benefit from convenient access to a wide range of amenities, including high-quality retail outlets, fine dining establishments, and many of the city’s principal cultural landmarks.

The oldest part of Norwich is the streets and alleys off Tombland, which is opposite the cathedral. Once popular residential streets for wealthy Norwich merchants but today a fascinatingly eclectic mix of private dwellings, antique shops, galleries, restaurants, tea rooms and a convenient cafe. There are a variety of historical period buildings on Elm Hill, including The Britons Arms, which dates to 1347 and is now a popular restaurant.

Norwich has a vibrant business community and, as the regional centre, has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including museums, the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, theatres, cinemas, Norwich City Football Club and numerous chains and independent restaurants and pubs.

In May each year, the city hosts the Norfolk and Norwich arts Festival, featuring music, theatre, dance, and other visual arts.

Norwich has an excellent range of state and private schools, and the University of East Anglia is located on the outskirts of the city.

The mainline railway station is either an easy walk or a short drive from Park Lane. There are regular direct trains to London (quoted by Greater Anglia at 1hr 50 mins to Liverpool Street Station) and a direct connection to Cambridge among other destinations. Norwich also has an expanding international Airport, which is just 4 miles north of the City.

Both the North Norfolk coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves, seals and sailing facilities, and the Norfolk Broads are within easy driving distance.
