Ferry Road, Surlingham, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

A particularly appealing, established three-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a generous and mature plot in one of Norwich’s most sought-after South City villages. Proudly owned and lovingly cared for by the same family for over 45 years, this charming 1960s-built home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with excellent space, privacy and considerable scope for future improvement.

Approached over a generous driveway, the property enjoys an attractive mature frontage with established beech hedging providing a wonderful sense of seclusion. The driveway leads to an oversized detached garage, offering excellent provision for parking, workshop space and storage.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance lobby, which leads into a particularly generous sitting room. A large picture window overlooks the front garden, while an open fireplace creates an attractive focal point to the room. The fireplace has not been tested. The sitting room flows through to a formal dining area, creating a naturally sociable space for entertaining and everyday family life. With large window overlooking the rear garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and useful built-in storage, together with a door providing direct access to the side driveway. An inner hallway serves the remaining accommodation and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The property is now ready for some updating and modernisation, but offers an excellent foundation for those wishing to create a contemporary home whilst retaining the character and proportions of the existing bungalow. There is also considerable potential for further enhancement, subject to the necessary planning and building regulation consents.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property. To the rear, the garden extends to approximately 80ft and enjoys a lovely degree of privacy, being predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging. Perhaps the most unusual and appealing aspect is the complete lack of properties immediately behind. Instead, the garden looks beyond towards open countryside, creating a wonderful feeling of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.

Adding considerably to the property's versatility is the rare rear vehicular access. Double gates provide access from the rear onto The Common , with a screened area offering an ideal location for boat storage, a larger vehicle, additional parking or general storage. The rear access also creates exciting possibilities for a future outbuilding or other improvements, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The oversized detached garage and substantial driveway provide further excellent parking and storage facilities, making the property particularly well suited to those requiring space for vehicles, hobbies or equipment.

Properties offering this combination of detached accommodation, a substantial mature garden, oversized garage, private rear aspect and vehicular access from the rear are particularly uncommon.

Having been cherished by the same family for more than four decades, this much-loved bungalow now offers a purchaser the opportunity to modernise and enhance the existing accommodation, while potentially making the most of the unusually generous plot and rear access.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a home with genuine character, privacy and considerable future potential in a highly desirable South Norwich village setting.
