This extended, newly renovated two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits on a notably large plot in Costessey and is offered freehold with no onward chain. The accommodation is single-storey and presented in neutral, modern finishes: a lounge/diner with a flue ready for a wood burner, a refitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a sleek modern bathroom. Renovation work carries building-control and electrical certification, and practical upgrades include a boarded loft, new roller garage doors (warranty) and double glazing.
The rear garden is the property’s standout feature — south-facing, deep and mature, with fruit trees, herb beds, a decking area and useful outbuildings including a bespoke three-bay wood store and kindling store. The garden’s size gives scope for serious landscaping, growing, or even a modest extension (subject to planning and building regulations). Parking is straightforward with a paved driveway and detached single garage with its own electrics and internal safety features.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), full-fibre broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low council tax band. The bungalow’s location provides easy access to local schools, shops and green routes such as Marriott’s Way, while remaining within reach of Norwich city amenities and the A47 bypass.
Notable drawbacks are the property’s overall small internal footprint — around 496 sq ft — which limits internal living space and storage compared with larger homes. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average, which prospective buyers should consider. Any plans to extend or alter the building would require the usual consents. Overall, this property will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home with an exceptional garden rather than those needing large internal living areas.
