Description

The Norfolk Agents Swaffham are delighted to offer this spacious and characterful 2-bedroom detached 1950s bungalow in the heart of the highly sought-after and historic village of Castle Acre. Set on a generous plot with gardens to both the front and rear, this individual home presents a unique opportunity for purchasers to acquire a property with scope to enhance and benefit from modernisation. Potential purchasers have the opportunity to create a truly special home in a picturesque setting.

ACCOMMODATION

The accommodation is arranged over a single level and is approached via an entrance hall which leads through to the principal living spaces. The living room is a particularly inviting space, featuring an open fireplace suitable for burning wood or coal, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. Flowing seamlessly from here is the dining area, forming a sociable open-plan space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with access to the garden and decking area.

The kitchen, positioned at the front of the property, is full of charm and character, featuring an oil-fired Rayburn set within an inglenook fireplace. This multifunctional feature provides central heating and hot water to the property, as well as cooking capabilities, while also serving as an attractive focal point within the room. The kitchen is further complemented by a useful larder and additional storage space. The property also benefits from a separate hot water cylinder, offering flexibility for hot water provision during the summer months.

The property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes/storage. The principal bedroom enjoys the added advantage of an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is served by the family bathroom, which includes a recently fitted shower.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the bungalow occupies a generous and well-established plot, with gardens to both the front and rear. Both gardens are laid to lawn and complemented by mature shrubs and hedging. The rear garden is a particular highlight, being fully enclosed and enjoying a desirable south-facing aspect, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation, with patio and decking areas. Backing onto playing fields, the garden benefits from open views and a wonderful sense of space and privacy.

To the front, the property is set back from the road and accessed via a private driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. An attached garage, complete with power and lighting, offers additional storage or workshop potential.

LOCATION
