Cawstons Meadow, Poringland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Positioned within a small cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Cawstons Meadow, this is a home that completely redefines what a bungalow in this setting can offer.

Since purchasing, the current owner has undertaken a full transformation, extending, reconfiguring and elevating the layout to create a home that now delivers just under 1200 sq. ft. of beautifully balanced accommodation. The result is a property that feels both spacious and incredibly versatile, with a layout that is almost unrecognisable from its original design.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the impressive rear extension. The family room is a superb space, vaulted in height, flooded with natural light and centred around bi-folding doors that open seamlessly onto the garden. Currently arranged as a combined living and dining space, it is a room designed for entertaining, family time and everyday living, all in equal measure. Complementing this, the sitting room has been thoughtfully retained as a more intimate snug, offering a cosy retreat while remaining effortlessly connected to the main living space.

The reconfiguration has also created a far more practical and considered layout. The principal bedroom sits quietly off the inner hallway and benefits from a stylish en suite. Bedroom two is an exceptional double with dual aspect windows and extensive built-in wardrobe, while bedroom three offers excellent flexibility, currently used as a bedroom but equally suited as a workspace or hobby room, with direct access out to the garden.

Serving the bedrooms is a superbly sized family bathroom, thoughtfully designed with both style and functionality in mind. It features a corner bath, separate shower and twin sinks, ideal for busy households. A useful pantry cupboard positioned off the hallway further enhances the practicality of the home, providing valuable everyday storage.

The kitchen has been intelligently extended into what was formerly the original hallway, creating a far more usable space with increased work surfaces and storage, perfectly suited to modern day living.

Externally, the advantages of the corner plot are immediately apparent. Even with the extension, the garden remains a fantastic size, wrapping around the property to provide a high degree of privacy, enhanced further by neighbouring bungalows. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, it combines lawn, patio and seating areas, offering plenty of space to enjoy throughout the year.

To the front, the property continues to impress with a substantial driveway, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles, ideal for growing families, visitors or those with larger vehicle requirements.

A reimagined bungalow that delivers far more than expected, offering space, flexibility and a lifestyle ready to be enjoyed from the moment you step inside.
