Description

Tucked away within the highly sought-after Wensum Valley Close development in Lower Hellesdon, this substantial extended detached residence offers a rare combination of luxury family living and an enviable riverside lifestyle.

Occupying one of the development’s most desirable positions at the rear of the close, the property enjoys stunning views across open fields, beautifully maintained communal grounds and the River Wensum beyond. Residents here benefit from exclusive access to approximately 10 acres of communal riverside grounds complete with fishing rights, river access for launching small boats, kayaks, canoes and paddleboards, alongside a communal tennis court, all available for a modest annual service charge.

The home itself has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded to provide spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hall and cloakroom, leading through to a generous living room which flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining room, creating an excellent entertaining space. Beyond this, the large conservatory provides another superb reception area with delightful views across the landscaped gardens and communal grounds beyond.

One of the standout features of the property is the stunning re-imagined kitchen breakfast room. Beautifully finished with stylish upmarket cabinetry, quality integrated appliances and a central breakfast bar, it delivers both practicality and wow factor in equal measure. A matching utility room offers further storage and workspace.

Also to the ground floor is a highly useful office/workspace created from half of the original double garage, perfect for home working or hobbies. The remaining garage space continues to provide excellent storage and could easily be reinstated to a full double garage if desired.

To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with picturesque views over the gardens, communal grounds and river beyond, alongside a generous modern ensuite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own stylish ensuite shower room, whilst bedrooms three and four are both comfortable doubles. Bedroom five is currently arranged as a bright study, enhanced by two windows allowing plenty of natural light. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a matching suite including bath, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A brick weave driveway provides ample off-road parking to the front, while the rear garden has been meticulously landscaped to create a truly special outdoor environment. A generous patio area, lawned gardens and a bespoke timber gazebo draped with climbing plants combine beautifully with an abundance of mature shrubs, flowers and trees.

Few homes within the development enjoy direct gated access onto the communal grounds, making this property especially desirable for those seeking a lifestyle centred around outdoor living, riverside walks and entertaining.

This is far more than just a house — it is a lifestyle property in one of Norwich’s hidden gems.

About Property Ladder, Norwich

98 Crostwick Lane, Spixworth, NR10 3NQ

It's important for you to know that we are an independent, family run business.

With five family members, working day to day in the business it means you will always be talking to someone who cares about your move and your opinion of our service. It also means we are adaptable in our approach. If you require accompanied viewings? No problem. If you require weekly updates? That's fine too! Nothing is too much trouble.

The first thing we ask every potential client of ours, whether buying or selling, is "tell us about your move". That's because everyone's move is different. You may be moving up the market, selling an investment or making a move into retirement. Whatever the reason, we understand that the decision to sell a property is a substantial one and with that at the very forefront of our minds, we want to fully understand what is important to you, as sellers, so that we can deliver a tailored service that meets all of your needs.

As well as being all round good eggs we are outstanding at selling property. We don't wait for buyers to come to us, or hope that the phone will ring. Every day we make hundreds and thousands of enthusiastic telephone calls, about every property on our books, constantly gaging the reaction, of the market, to the homes we sell.
