Summary - ASHLEY HOUSE MAIN ROAD SWARDESTON NORWICH NR14 8AD
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious village home with private garden and flexible living.
Secluded circa 0.25 acre plot with high hedging for privacy
Ashley House is a roomy, traditional detached family home set within a secluded circa 0.25 acre plot, tucked away behind brick pillars and wrought-iron gates. The house blends period character with practical family living: multiple reception rooms (including a conservatory), a solid-wood kitchen with island and breakfast bar, and flexible layout providing four or five bedrooms. The rear garden is private and well planted, with a raised deck and an above-ground heated swimming pool for summer entertaining.
Practical strengths include off-street parking and a secondary driveway with garage potential, quick road links to Norwich and the A47, and fast local broadband suitable for home working. The ground floor includes a convenient shower room and utility space, while upstairs the main bathroom offers a four-piece suite serving the bedrooms. The property’s atmosphere is calm and rural, appealing to families who want space, privacy and versatile living areas.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the heating runs on an oil-fired boiler, the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the EPC is D — all of which may mean higher running costs or scope for energy improvement works. The above-ground pool and mature landscaping will require ongoing maintenance. Council tax is above average for the area. The property is located on the same road as an onshore battery storage development currently under construction; there is no reported visual or physical impact on this property.
Overall this is a characterful family home with scope to update energy performance and personalise interiors. It will suit buyers seeking generous indoor and outdoor space close to Norwich, with potential to improve efficiency and add value through targeted refurbishment.
