DESCRIPTION

A beautifully designed and individually built three-bedroom bungalow, completed in 2024, forming part of an exclusive development of just two properties. Set well back from Taverham Road and enjoying a private position, this impressive home combines contemporary design with a high-quality specification and exceptionally well-considered accommodation.

The property is traditionally constructed in brick beneath a slate roof, with solid blockwork internal walls, and benefits from air-source heat pump technology and underfloor heating throughout. The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed with the principal living spaces orientated to the south and positioned towards the front of the property, whilst the bedrooms are arranged to the rear, creating a practical and particularly comfortable layout.

The dual-aspect sitting room enjoys excellent natural light and features French doors opening towards the south-facing aspect.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable and versatile space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including two fan-assisted ovens with grills, combination microwave, induction hob with extractor, full-height refrigerator, full-height freezer and dishwasher. A central island provides an additional focal point and useful preparation space.

The kitchen and dining area flows seamlessly into the adjoining garden room, which benefits from sliding patio doors opening onto the south-facing sun terrace, further extending the living space and providing a wonderful connection with the outside.

A separate utility room provides space and plumbing for two laundry appliances, together with a sink, built-in storage and a door providing direct access to the garden.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes and beautifully appointed en suite bathrooms. The third bedroom is served by a separate contemporary shower room. All of the bathrooms have been finished to a high standard.

Further features include a double-width airing cupboard and a boarded loft space, providing useful additional storage.
Throughout the principal living areas, the property benefits from attractive luxury vinyl flooring, with approximately 33 years remaining on the manufacturer's warranty.
__________

OUTSIDE

The property occupies a secluded and private position, set well back from Taverham Road and forming part of this exclusive development of just two properties. The property is south-facing, with thoughtfully designed wrap-around gardens providing the opportunity to enjoy sunshine throughout the day and create different areas for relaxation and entertaining.

The garden is designed with low-maintenance living in mind, incorporating tiled footpaths and a south-facing sun terrace, together with a pergola and decked seating area, providing attractive spaces in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

External LED lighting adds both ambience and practicality during the evening.

To the front and side of the property is generous off-road parking, with the parking area constructed using porous crushed gravel set within recycled PVC geogrids on a Type 1 granite base. This provides a durable, stable and low-maintenance surface designed to remain in excellent condition for many years.

A garage with an electric remote-controlled door provides secure parking or useful additional storage. For electric vehicle owners, the property benefits from a Sync Energy EV charging point.

The combination of the private setting, south-facing orientation, wrap-around gardens and carefully considered outdoor spaces creates an exceptional extension to the living accommodation and is particularly well suited to outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

SITUATION

Situated on the banks of the River Wensum, Taverham enjoys a desirable semi-rural setting just six miles from Norwich city centre, offering an attractive blend of countryside and urban convenience. The village benefits from extensive green spaces and direct access to Marriott’s Way, the historic walking and cycling route linking Norwich with the market town of Aylsham.

One of Taverham’s most distinctive landmarks is Taverham Mill, which was once a major paper producer. Its paper was used for prestigious publications and institutions, including The Times, the Oxford English Dictionary and Bank of England banknotes. Following the mill’s closure in 1899, the 100-acre site has been transformed into a beautiful nature reserve, with a network of walking trails and four lakes, which are well regarded by anglers for carp, tench, roach, perch and pike.

The village is well served by a broad range of local amenities. These include a well-equipped village hall offering a variety of community activities, a library and excellent educational provision for children and young people, from primary schools through to sixth form, as well as the independent Langley Prep School. Further facilities include a doctor’s surgery, veterinary practice, pharmacy, dentist, scout hut, public house and a variety of shops and food outlets.

For a wider choice of shopping, dining and leisure, Norwich city centre is readily accessible. The city offers a wealth of cultural attractions, including the magnificent Norwich Cathedral, set within The Close beside the River Wensum, alongside an extensive selection of restaurants, wine bars, leisure facilities and both state and independent schools.

Taverham also benefits from excellent transport connections. Norwich mainline railway station, approximately 1.8 miles from the property, provides direct services to London Liverpool Street, together with regular connections to Cambridge. Road links are equally convenient, with the Southern Bypass (A47) providing access towards the Midlands, while the A11 and M11 offer routes south towards London. Norwich International Airport is also within easy reach, providing regular domestic and European flights, with onward connections to destinations worldwide.
