Norwich Road, New Costessey

Occupying a desirable position along a residential road in the popular Norwich suburb of New Costessey, this renovated semi-detached residence presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals and investors.

The property is approached via a newly installed entrance gate and pathway, creating an attractive first impression. A brand-new front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond.

Positioned to the front of the property, the sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space designed for everyday living and relaxation. Flooded with natural light from the window frontage, the room enjoys a warm and homely atmosphere, enhanced by the focal point of a wood-burning stove. This feature not only adds character but creates a cosy setting during the colder months, making the room a perfect place to unwind or entertain guests.

Beyond the sitting room, the kitchen forms an important hub of the home and has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise functionality. Fitted with a range of cabinetry, a freestanding oven, sink with drainer unit and designated spaces for additional appliances ensure practicality for day-to-day living. The layout provides scope for future modernisation or reconfiguration should a purchaser wish to personalise the space further, making it an appealing proposition for those looking to add value over time.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a stylish family bathroom. Well-presented and contemporary in design, the room features a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, hand wash basin and WC, complemented by a heated towel rail. The space has been carefully maintained and offers a fresh, modern finish ready for immediate use.

Stairs rise to the first-floor, where further improvements are immediately evident through the installation of brand-new internal doors. The upper level accommodates two refurbished double bedrooms, both enjoying comfortable proportions and plenty of natural light.

The principal bedroom benefits from the added luxury of a private en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is another generous double room and benefits from built-in storage, offering excellent functionality whilst maintaining a bright and uncluttered feel.

Externally, the rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of the home. Larger than many properties of a similar type, the outdoor space offers excellent potential for gardening, entertaining or family enjoyment. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden provides a versatile blank canvas for future landscaping projects, outdoor seating areas or extensions to the property, subject to the necessary permissions. A timber shed offers useful storage for gardening equipment and outdoor essentials.

At the far end of the garden, double gates provide access to valuable off-road parking, an increasingly sought-after feature within residential locations. This arrangement allows for secure vehicle storage whilst preserving the garden's usability and sense of space.
