Summary - 1, GILBERT WAY NR4 7RN
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large plot with separate studio — versatile living for multigenerational households.
Five-bedroom detached home, 3,701 sq.ft of accommodation
Set on a quiet no-through road in desirable Cringleford, this substantial detached family home extends to 3,701 sq.ft and includes a self-contained studio above the garage — ideal for multi-generational living, an au pair, or rental income. The layout is flexible: four double bedrooms in the main house plus a study/bedroom, three bath/shower rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with separate WC/utility, and a large family room with two further reception spaces.
Practical features include a double garage with carport, workshop and boiler room, a generous driveway for multiple cars, a good-sized garden and solar panels, which contribute to an Energy Rating B. The property has modern double glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, while local amenities, very low crime levels and highly regarded nearby schools make this a comfortable suburban choice.
The house has been in the same ownership for over 50 years and retains some original, unspoilt elements alongside areas finished to a high standard. That continuity gives character but also means there may be parts of the home that benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is described as quite expensive, factors to consider for working-from-home or long-term running costs.
Overall this is a large, versatile household opportunity in an affluent area. It will suit families seeking space and schooling options, those wanting separate accommodation for relatives or tenants, and buyers prepared to invest selectively in modernising certain elements while enjoying the substantial living footprint and strong energy credentials provided by the solar installation.
