This substantial six-bedroom detached house sits on a large, landscaped plot in a quiet Appleacres cul-de-sac, perfectly placed for families who value space and outdoor life. The recently updated kitchen/dining room, redesigned in 2017, is the home's social heart — a light-filled, open-plan space with a large cooking island, Whirlpool appliances, a glazed roof lantern and five bi-fold doors that open to sun-soaked terraces and a patio. Three reception rooms plus a fitness room and TV space give flexible living areas for both daily family routines and entertaining.
The principal suite is a private retreat with bespoke wardrobes and a smart en-suite; two further en-suites on the first floor and well-proportioned bedrooms across the upper floors accommodate a growing household or visiting guests. Second-floor rooms include a sleepover-style bedroom and a bright art studio that could serve as a guest room or home office. Practical extras include a boot room, dog shower and guest WC on the ground floor.
Outside, the property is praised for its manicured front lawns with two Japanese silver birches, an expansive driveway that fits multiple cars and a detached double garage with electric doors. Note the garage is currently used for storage/hobby space rather than parking. The home sits opposite Old Catton Park (70 acres) for walks and weekend play, while Norwich city centre, good bus links and Norwich International Airport are all close by.
Important practical points: the house is freehold, newly renovated and has double glazing and mains gas central heating, but council tax is high. The overall condition is very good following the renovation, though buyers should confirm specific measurements, services and consents during survey and legal checks.
