This freshly renovated two-bedroom semi-detached house in NR2 offers move-in-ready, low-maintenance living ideal for first-time buyers. The ground floor features a bright open-plan lounge flowing to a contemporary kitchen with solid worktops, pendant lighting and integrated appliances. New plumbing, electrics, roofing and double glazing reduce immediate maintenance and give buyers confidence in the finish.
Outside, a private, non-bisected rear garden with new fencing, lawn, patio, lighting and outdoor sockets offers a secluded spot for dining and relaxation, though the plot is small compared with suburban standards. Off-road parking and a garage provide practical storage and hobby space; the garage also offers scope for conversion into extra living accommodation or a bedroom, subject to planning permission.
The property is period-built (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls; insulation in the wall construction is assumed absent and may warrant improvement to maximise comfort and running costs. The EPC is rated D. The location is a key selling point — within walking distance of Norwich city centre, stations, shops, cafés, universities and good schools — but note local crime rates are above average for the area.
Overall, this home blends contemporary fittings and sensible recent upgrades with realistic potential for further enhancement. Buyers seeking a stylish, low-maintenance first home with development upside will find strong appeal here, while those prioritising larger gardens or top-tier energy performance should weigh the trade-offs.
