This large freehold plot on Gurney Road includes a detached single‑storey bungalow and granted planning permission for three additional single‑storey dwellings (Application 2023/0227, registered 26 June 2024). The existing property sits well back from the road behind mature hedging and offers immediate refurbishment potential; the site is suitable for a small development scheme or a combined refurb-and-build project.
The plot benefits from strong local fundamentals: very affluent area, low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. It sits within easy reach of Norwich (approximately six miles), local shops, schools including Ormiston Victory Academy (Ofsted Outstanding), regular bus routes and the A47. Garaging and private drive access are included in the permission, and the plot size is described as very large, providing scope for landscaping or further external works subject to approvals.
Condition and constraints are straightforward and should inform budgets: the existing bungalow needs renovation and external maintenance, the front garden is overgrown, and vehicular access is via a narrow driveway for one–two cars. Buyers should review the planning documentation on the South Norfolk and Breckland Council portal (reference above) to confirm the scope and conditions attached to the consent.
This opportunity suits developers, small builders or investors seeking a near‑city project with consent in place and clear upside from refurbishment and new build. For owner‑occupiers considering retention of the bungalow, the site offers privacy and potential to extend further subject to separate permissions.
