Cookes Road, Bergh Apton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15

Set within a beautifully established plot approaching one third of an acre, this three-bedroom detached bungalow enjoys a private setting in the sought-after village of Bergh Apton. Owned by the same family for almost 40 years, the property combines generous accommodation, original character and a predominantly south-facing rear garden, offering considerable appeal as a long-term home.

A sweeping gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the attached garage. Mature trees and planting frame the generous frontage, while the absence of a property directly opposite creates an attractive open outlook.

Inside, a spacious L-shaped entrance hall features original parquet flooring, introducing the character found throughout the home. The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room connects to a useful side porch, providing additional storage and a practical secondary entrance.

The generous sitting/dining room offers ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table, with an original open fireplace providing an appealing focal point. To the rear, a garden room with a bay window overlooks the mature grounds, creating a peaceful place to relax with views of the garden throughout the seasons.

The principal bedroom also features a rear-facing bay window overlooking the garden, together with an en-suite cloakroom. A second double bedroom and a third bedroom, currently used as a study, provide flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. A refitted shower room completes the accommodation.

The gardens are the property’s outstanding feature. Mature planting and established trees create a secluded setting, with a generous lawn and covered veranda providing space to sit, dine and enjoy the predominantly southerly aspect. A beautiful cedar tree adds structure and character, while a summer house offers a further retreat within the grounds.

For keen gardeners, a greenhouse, kitchen garden area and established orchard offer plenty of scope to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers. Backing onto a quiet lane, the rear garden enjoys a peaceful outlook, with room to develop the planting or personalise the space over time.

Bergh Apton offers an attractive rural setting within convenient reach of Poringland and Loddon, where a range of shops, services and everyday amenities can be found. Norwich is also accessible, providing a wider choice of shopping, dining, leisure and cultural attractions.

With its generous living space, original features, attached garage and exceptional gardens, this appealing bungalow presents an opportunity to enjoy village life and create a home to cherish for years to come.
