Summary - 56 MERTON ROAD NORWICH NR2 3TT
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Compact period home with generous private garden and powered outbuilding.
Bay-fronted sitting room with original cast-iron fireplace
A compact Victorian end-terrace that balances period charm and recent practical upgrades. The bay-front sitting room, cast-iron fireplace and original mouldings give genuine character, while the open-plan dining/kitchen and engineered floors make day-to-day living straightforward. The larger-than-average non-bisected rear garden and powered outbuilding create valuable flexible space for a home office, workshop or storage.
The property is well-served for heating and glazing improvements: a gas boiler was installed in 2022 and the windows are UPVC double-glazed, and the bathroom was fitted in 2023. Layout works well for first-time buyers or couples, with two double bedrooms upstairs and a useful ground-floor utility/cloakroom to keep living spaces tidy.
Buyers should note the modest overall footprint typical of period terraces and the small front forecourt. The house is built of solid brick with no confirmed wall insulation, so buyers planning significant energy upgrades should allow budget for cavity or internal insulation work. Local crime statistics are above average for the area; prospective purchasers may wish to check neighbourhood safety and security options.
There is clear scope to add value through sympathetic modernisation or garden landscaping, and potential to reconfigure or extend subject to planning. For anyone seeking a ready-to-live-in period home with an exceptional private garden and practical outbuilding close to west Norwich amenities, this offers a good balance of character and convenience.
