This modern four-bedroom semi-detached house on Alicante Way is presented as a straightforward investment opportunity close to the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital. At 829 sq ft, the layout includes a ground-floor bedroom and WC, an open kitchen/living area, three first-floor bedrooms (one with en‑suite) and a family bathroom — a practical arrangement for student lets or professional sharers.
The property is freehold and chain free, with double glazing, mains gas central heating, off-street parking and a single garage. A decent enclosed rear garden and full‑fibre broadband add to tenant appeal. The construction date (2003–2006) and insulated cavity walls suggest straightforward maintenance rather than major immediate works.
Buyers should weigh the strong rental location against local social and economic factors. The area is classified as very deprived and records above‑average crime — factors that can affect letting strategy, tenancy screening and insurance costs. The house is modest in overall size, so it suits rental configurations rather than buyers seeking large family living space.
For an investor targeting consistent demand from students and hospital staff, this property offers quick entry to the local lettings market, affordable council tax banding and the convenience of parking and a garage. For owner‑occupiers, the size and local demographics should be considered against personal requirements.
