Intwood Road, Cringleford, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4

A spacious family home with about 0.68 acres of beautiful gardens.

Description

The Oaks is a wonderfully spacious and well proportioned family home, built around 1952 and set within approximately 0.68 acres of mature, leafy gardens. Surrounded by established trees, the house enjoys a wonderfully secluded, almost countryside feel, despite being only a short distance from the city centre (about 4 miles). Adding to its appeal, the property also benefits from planning permission for a first floor extension and the conversion of the garage, utility room and playroom into additional habitable accommodation offering exciting scope for the future.

The ground floor centres around a charming kitchen, complete with an Aga and a useful pantry, semi open to the living room to create a sociable, family friendly flow. In around 2004, a thoughtful extension was added that links with the sitting room, living room and kitchen. Double doors open directly onto the garden, making it a wonderful space for summer living. A ground floor cloakroom, playroom and utility area add further practicality.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys double aspect views across the gardens. Three further bedrooms also overlook the gardens, while a single bedroom sits to the front of the house. A family bathroom, separate shower room and an additional WC complete the first floor accommodation.

The property also benefits from two garages featuring electric up and over doors ideal for storage, workshop or future conversion potential.

Outside
The property is approached via a circular, sweeping drive that provides ample parking. One of the standout features of this home is its beautiful, established gardens. A charming patio area sits beneath a pergola draped in wisteria, creating a wonderful spot for outdoor dining in the warmer months. Paths lead through attractive beds planted with lavender, rhododendrons and a variety of ornamental grasses, offering colour, scent and interest throughout the seasons. A row of mature oak trees forms a natural divide to a further section of the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and includes an access gate.
