Located a stone's throw from the RIVER WENSUM close to NORWICH STATION, this ideal family home displays ELEGANT HIGH CEILINGS, EXTENDED OPEN PLAN LIVING and a bonus so hard to find in the city centre, PRIVATE DRIVEWAY PARKING. With SPACE for 3 smaller cars or 2 large, the long driveway offers TALL DOUBLE GATES (easily made into a CAR PORT) and space to accommodate a LARGE VEHICLE such as WORK VAN, MOTOR HOME, or even a BOAT to use on the nearby River Wensum. This must be one of the most convenient locations in the city of Norwich and one of the closest locations to the TRAIN STATION whilst being located within a leafy green, genteel area. There is a thriving local community here. In fact the property is opposite pretty bluebell gardens, Old Library Wood, run by the community for the community, while the other end of this elegant Edwardian road is Riverside. The property further benefits from being within walking distance of the Ofsted Outstanding rated Charles Darwin Primary School, recently ranked as the best primary school in Norwich by the website School Guide. Also within 5 minutes' walk of the independent Norwich School, ranked the best secondary school in Norwich by the independent website School Guide and third in East Anglia in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2025, Mousehold Heath, pretty riverside walks and of course an almost door to door commuter service into LONDON Liverpool Street (1hr 53 min fastest journey time). It is also just a stroll from Norwich's vibrant and cultural city centre scene.
On entering the property, you notice the pleasantly wide hallway. The sitting room enjoys 8' 2” high ceilings and a large bay window overlooking The Old Woods creating a peaceful, leafy green outlook. A cosy woodburner has been fitted to this room which takes the chill off cool evenings and creates a focal point that says welcome home.
The modern kitchen has been extended into a pleasant, contemporary open plan space in which to cook/dine/relax while enjoying views over the garden. A long roof light reveals the sky and allows the space to be flooded with light making it the comfortable heart of this home.
Also on the ground floor is the study. Well planned and clever with storage, the bespoke built cupboards and desk make this dual purpose space work perfectly. This is also home to the gas combi boiler and there is still space for boots and cloaks.
Off here is access to the essential downstairs W.C.
All windows and external doors have been replaced with bespoke built uPVC double glazing. One in 2019 with the all others in 2020.
Upstairs, the bathroom and three bedrooms are accessed off the landing.
The loft space benefits from insulation, is part boarded for storage, has a pull down ladder and is fitted with power sockets.
The garden has been laid to low maintenance astro turf with various areas for potted plants and flowers.
An attractive, arched gate opens onto the private driveway that runs along the rear of the property. Laid to hard concrete, it is enclosed by fencing and a wall. There are very tall double gates that enclose the bottom of the driveway currently. It would be a simple process to make this space into a car port if desired. In addition, the entrance to the drive could also be gated creating a totally private area. This feature is highly unusual and a rare asset to have within the city centre.
