North Park, Fakenham, NR21

147 North Park is a well positioned semi detached bungalow, tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought after North Park area of the market town of Fakenham.  Its location is particularly appealing, being less than a miles walk from the town centre with its wide range of amenities, while still enjoying a peaceful residential setting.

The property is available with no onward chain but would benefit from a programme of light refurbishment, allowing a new owner the chance to update and personalise the accommodation to their own taste.  Inside, the layout includes a useful side porch leading to the kitchen, an open plan sitting/dining room and 2 comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom.  Additional advantages include UPVC double glazed windows and doors and gas-fired central heating to radiators. 

Outside, the property provides driveway parking, a low maintenance gravelled garden at the front and a south facing lawned garden to the rear.  147 North Park presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a conveniently located home with scope to add value, whether as a permanent home, retirement property or investment purchase.
