The Location

Whitwell Road enjoys an enviable position in the sought-after Thorpe Hamlet area, just to the east of Norwich city centre. This lovely, tree-lined cul-de-sac is known for its friendly community feel, the kind of street where neighbours stop to chat and children still play safely together outside.

It’s a peaceful spot that feels tucked away, yet it’s perfectly placed for easy access to everything the city has to offer.

For commuters, the location couldn’t be more convenient. Norwich train station is just a short walk away, providing regular and reliable services to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge, and beyond. If you prefer to travel on foot, it’s around a ten-minute stroll into the city centre, a particularly beautiful walk that can take you past Norwich Cathedral or along the riverside, both routes offering a glimpse of the city’s historic charm.

Everyday amenities are right on your doorstep. Local shops, pubs, and cafes are all within easy reach, while supermarkets and the popular Riverside development — with its restaurants, cinema, and gym, are just minutes away. For families, the area is served by a range of well-regarded schools and offers plenty of green space nearby, including Mousehold Heath, a much-loved local nature reserve perfect for walking, running, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

Whitwell Road strikes a rare balance, a calm, safe, and neighbourly environment with a genuine sense of community, yet close enough to the city centre that you can leave the car at home. It’s the perfect location for professionals, families, and anyone looking to enjoy the best of Norwich living.

Whitwell Road, Norwich

Placed at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Thorpe Hamlet area, this beautifully extended four-bedroom end-terrace home offers an exceptional blend of light, space, and modern comfort, all just a short walk from Norwich city centre and the train station.

Backing directly onto the tranquil greenery of Mousehold Heath, the setting feels private and calm, creating a wonderful sense of escape right on the edge of the city.

The home has been thoughtfully updated and extended, creating generous and versatile living spaces that are ideal for modern family life. Step through the front door and you’re welcomed into a bright hallway that opens into a large, open-plan kitchen and dining area. This space immediately impresses, the glass roof floods the room with natural light even on the greyest winter days, while sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances combine style and practicality.

There’s plenty of room for a family dining table, and the open layout makes this the social heart of the home.

Beyond the kitchen, a spacious lounge offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, featuring a wood-burning stove that adds character. This room flows effortlessly into the conservatory, a lovely, light-filled space with bi-fold doors that open fully onto the garden.

When the doors are pulled back, the boundary between indoors and outdoors disappears, creating a connection that makes this home perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the view across the garden and into the trees beyond.

The ground floor also features a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath, cleverly incorporating space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a practical touch for busy households.

The garden feels wonderfully secluded, with Mousehold Heath providing a green backdrop that enhances the sense of peace and privacy.

Practicality hasn’t been forgotten either: the outbuildings in the garden are equipped with mains power, making them perfect for use as workshops, studios, or hobby rooms. Whether you’re working from home, pursuing a creative project, or simply in need of extra storage, these spaces add welcome versatility.

To the front of the property, a private driveway provides off-road parking. The home also benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
