Summary - 15 WAKEFIELD ROAD NORWICH NR5 8JE
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Vacant student-let with garden and renovation upside, sold at livestream auction.
Freehold ex-council semi-detached, near university and hospital
A versatile ex-local-authority semi-detached house within easy reach of the University of East Anglia and Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. The property has been used successfully as a student let and is offered vacant, giving an investor the chance to re-let quickly or a family the option to move in and adapt rooms to suit. Recent redecoration and double glazing mean the house is ready to occupy, while the layout includes a ground-floor reception that can serve as a fourth bedroom.
This freehold home has gas central heating, an ensuite to the main bedroom, and both front and rear gardens with an outside store. On-street parking serves the property; the plot size is decent for the area. Council Tax band B and relatively low running costs are further practical benefits.
Buyers should note this is a livestream auction sale on 22 October 2025; administration and buyer’s premium fees (payable on exchange) apply and disbursements may be listed in the legal pack. The wider neighbourhood shows higher crime levels and socio-economic deprivation; consider this when assessing rental yields or family suitability.
Good local schools and excellent transport, mobile and broadband connectivity add appeal for students and working families. The house offers clear short-term income potential or medium-term uplift through targeted refurbishment to improve curb appeal and modernise some finishes.
