Howe Lane, Poringland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

Set back from the road and enjoying a high degree of privacy, this charming home is offered with no onward chain and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property where the gardens are as much a feature as the house itself.

Approached via a generous frontage, the property is cleverly positioned behind mature planting, creating a sense of seclusion that is seldom found. As you drive past, you would scarcely know the home is there. The front garden not only provides excellent levels of privacy but also offers ample off-road parking, with further scope to increase this if required, ideal for buyers with multiple vehicles, or equally those who value a more landscaped, private setting when enjoying the outlook from the sitting room.

The rear garden is where this home truly comes into its own. South-facing and of an exceptional size, it offers a wonderful sense of space and a far-reaching outlook across open farmland. Meticulously maintained over the years, the garden has been thoughtfully planted with mature borders that create a tranquil, almost park-like setting. A variety of fruit trees, including plum, apple, pear, apricot and peach, provide both seasonal interest and a real lifestyle element for those looking to embrace outdoor living.

Positioned towards the rear of the garden is a substantial workshop, complete with power, lighting, glazing and its own wood burner. This space offers excellent versatility, whether used in its current form or enhanced further to create a bespoke home office, studio or additional garden room. A further shed, also with power and light, adds to the practicality.

Internally, the property has been recently refreshed and offers a layout that is both comfortable and functional. The sitting room provides a cosy retreat, centred around a feature fireplace, and flows through to the dining room, a space that enjoys direct views over the garden and benefits from double doors opening onto a shingled seating area. A wood burner within the dining space adds both character and warmth, making it equally suited to entertaining or everyday family life.

The kitchen has been tastefully improved, featuring modern panelling that complements the overall aesthetic, while also providing direct access to the garden. The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed three-piece family bathroom.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off the landing, each offering comfortable accommodation and flexibility depending on a buyer’s needs.

What sets this home apart is the balance it achieves, offering a genuine countryside feel with open views to the rear, yet positioned just moments from the amenities, schooling and convenience that Poringland provides, along with easy access into Norwich city centre.

This is a home that delivers on space, privacy and lifestyle in equal measure, something that is increasingly difficult to find whilst also offering clear scope for further improvement and exciting potential for expansion, subject to the necessary planning permissions, thanks to the generous nature of the plot.
