A beautifully renovated and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home, originally constructed circa 1898 in striking bold red brick, accessed via double gates and approached over a generous shingled driveway providing ample parking.
The property has been cleverly enhanced in 2020 to create an exceptional double-aspect principal sitting room, a truly outstanding space centred around a freestanding cast iron multi-fuel burner, seamlessly blending period charm with contemporary living.
The accommodation begins with an inviting reception dining room, rich in character and featuring a cast iron wood burner. This flows effortlessly into a flexible and spacious bespoke kitchen, complete with integral appliances, oak worktops, and a delightful garden room/breakfast area enjoying uninterrupted views across the rear gardens. A stand-alone utility room provides excellent practicality, complemented by a well-appointed ground floor bathroom.
To the first floor, the property offers a superb principal bedroom with a walk-in dressing room, further enhanced by a mezzanine storage area, creating a luxurious and highly functional private suite. Bedroom two is particularly elegant, benefitting from an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding ball and claw foot bath. A third bedroom is served by a stylish family shower room, while an additional attic room is accessed via ladder stairs, offering versatile space for storage, a home office, or hobbies.
Throughout, the home is finished to an excellent standard, including UPVC double glazing, electric thermostatically controlled individual radiators, oak flooring to the majority of rooms, and the added comfort of both wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. Further enhancing the appeal of this exceptional home is an attached bespoke external home office, ideal for remote working or creative pursuits
perfectly positioned to enjoy both privacy and outlook.
Externally, the property is set within approximately one-third of an acre (subject to measured survey), featuring a substantial rear garden extending to around 200ft in length. The grounds are a true highlight
beautifully expansive and backing directly onto open fields and Boudica Way, offering scenic riverside walks towards Trowse, Whitlingham and onwards to the city centre. A generous decked sun terrace adjoins the property, creating a superb space for entertaining and al fresco dining, while a covered BBQ area with an attached store provides an excellent setting for outdoor gatherings. In addition, a discreetly positioned container store to the side of the plot offers valuable storage and potential for further conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
Enjoying a wonderfully private setting with only one neighbouring property, this home is ideally suited to a multitude of buyers. It offers excellent access links, with the city centre, Trowse and Caistor St Edmund all easily reached on foot, while Lakenham Way is approximately a 20-minute walk, further enhancing connectivity without compromising the peaceful, rural feel.
