Summary - 88 88 Borrowdale Drive, Norwich NR1 4LY
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free three-bedroom with garage, large garden and scope to modernise.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached on a generous plot
A chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house on a generous plot in NR1, offered as a blank canvas for modernisation and possible extension (stp). The ground floor features a 19' dual-aspect sitting and dining room with French doors to the rear garden, plus a fully fitted kitchen with direct garden access. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a three-piece family shower room. Outside there is driveway parking leading to a single garage, and a private enclosed rear garden large enough for family use or landscaping.
The property dates from the late mid-20th century and is structurally conventional with cavity walls and double glazing; many fixtures appear dated (notably the kitchen) so cosmetic updating will be required. The house is attractively positioned set back from the road with mature front planting and a long drive. Broadband speeds are fast and local primary and secondary schools are within reach, making the location practical for families.
Practical points: tenure is freehold and council tax banding is described as affordable. There is no flood risk, but the area records higher crime and broader neighbourhood deprivation—important factors for buyers to consider. For purchasers wanting value, the property offers clear potential for value-add through modernisation or rear/side extension, subject to planning.
This house suits a family seeking a roomy plot in Norwich, a first-time buyer prepared to renovate, or an investor targeting refurbishment opportunities. The sale being chain-free simplifies timing for a buyer ready to move quickly.
