Bishops Close, Thorpe St Andrew

This attractive suburban townhouse occupies a desirable position and is one of just four charming cottage-style properties within a small terrace. Offered to the market with No Onward Chain, the property presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers seeking a well-maintained home in a pleasant residential setting.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall featuring a staircase to the first floor, a useful understairs storage cupboard, and a convenient ground-floor cloakroom fitted with a two-piece suite. The spacious lounge/diner provides an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining, with French doors opening onto the private enclosed rear courtyard garden. The lounge flows seamlessly into the fitted kitchen, which is equipped with an integrated dishwasher installed in 2024, a four-ring gas hob with extractor hood, an electric oven and grill, space for additional appliances, and a cupboard housing the gas boiler.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom benefits from a newly fitted shower suite installed in 2025, while the principal bedroom enjoys the advantage of en-suite facilities together with a separate study or dressing area, offering versatile additional space. Both bedrooms are fitted with built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage.

Further benefits include double glazing throughout and gas central heating. Externally, the property boasts a private enclosed rear courtyard garden with personal rear access to the parking area. The garden is ideal for outdoor dining and low-maintenance enjoyment, together with a small front garden enclosed by decorative railings. Parking is well catered for with one allocated off-road parking space and the additional benefit of three visitor spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The loft is accessible via a fold-down ladder. It is approximately 50% boarded and has two structural steel beams installed, ready to support additional flooring should a conversion be desired.

Combining character, practicality and an excellent layout, this delightful home would make a superb first-time purchase or an ideal property for those looking to downsize.
