The Location

Rackheath is a village that still feels like a village, but with an increasing amount of life and convenience on the doorstep. Just five miles northeast of Norwich, it’s well-placed for anyone who wants a quieter home setting without feeling cut off. Everyday essentials are right in the village, including a convenience store, primary school, doctors’ surgery and a village hall that hosts community activities. There’s also a good amount of green space, with a playing field, play area and places to walk the dog. For food, drink and a bit of atmosphere, the Sole & Heel pub on Salhouse Road has become a real hub again since its refurbishment, offering a friendly pint, outdoor seating and regular social events.

One of Rackheath’s biggest advantages is how easy it is to get around. The NDR (Broadland Northway / A1270) runs right by the area and links very smoothly to the A47, which means commuting is genuinely straightforward whether you’re heading into Norwich or further afield. Bus travel is also practical, routes such as Konectbus 5 and 5B run regularly into the city, so you don’t have to rely solely on the car.

Cycling is becoming more realistic too, with routes connecting out toward Norwich and the surrounding villages.

Rackheath is also nicely placed between a number of other well-served areas. Just down the road, Sprowston offers bigger supermarkets, retail parks, takeaways and schools. Thorpe St Andrew is not far either, it has riverside walks, good places to eat and well-regarded education options including Thorpe St Andrew School.

Another big draw is how close Rackheath is to the countryside and the Broads. Salhouse Broad is just around the corner and offers beautiful walking routes, paddleboarding, boating and wildlife. For anyone who enjoys being outside, whether that’s cycling, dog walking, or just getting some fresh air, it’s a great location.

This attractive and well-proportioned five-bedroom home is located on a newer and increasingly sought-after estate in Rackheath. The property sits in a desirable position with a green outlook to the front, enjoying views across open fields and the park in the distance, offering a sense of space and separation that many modern estates lack. The exterior is instantly appealing, designed with a stylish blend of part brick and part blue cladding, giving the house a contemporary but warm presence.

A generous brickweave driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, reinforcing the practical appeal for families or those who simply value extra space.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the property. It is wide and welcoming, with hard flooring underfoot and light panelled walls that add texture and character. This space feels considered and beautifully finished, neutral in tone but thoughtfully styled, much like the rest of the home. To one side of the hallway sits the main sitting room, a calming front-facing space with plush carpeting and soft décor, perfect for everyday living. Its neutral palette makes it easy to personalise while retaining a classy, timeless feel.

Opposite the sitting room is an additional reception space currently used as a snug, though it would work equally well as a study or playroom. Built-in storage makes the room highly functional. A nearby WC and further hallway storage add convenience and demonstrate the home’s family-friendly design. These downstairs spaces offer flexibility, allowing the home to grow and adapt with its occupants.

To the rear of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area, undoubtedly one of the most appealing features of this home. The kitchen itself features matte-finish cabinetry with discreet monochrome handles for a clean, modern look. Integrated appliances ensure practicality and visual continuity and the layout lends itself naturally to busy family life or social gatherings. There is plenty of space for a dining table and an additional seating area, making this a true hub of the home. Double French doors open onto the garden, further enhancing the sense of space and creating a lovely transition between indoor and outdoor living.

The first floor is spacious and well-planned, offering five bedrooms in total, rare to find on modern developments without compromising room sizes. The main bedroom feels particularly luxurious, with a peaceful ambience, quality décor and its own ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are ideal for children, guests, home office use, or additional storage depending on needs.

A well-appointed family bathroom serves these rooms, styled in keeping with the rest of the home’s neutral aesthetic.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and usable space. It features a porcelain patio for low maintenance and upscale appeal, along with a sheltered seating area that offers covered outdoor enjoyment regardless of the weather.
