Five double bedrooms with principal en-suite and built-in wardrobes
A substantial five-bedroom detached home on a large, private plot in desirable Thorpe End. Arrival is impressive with a wide frontage, double driveway and detached double garage — ideal for families who need space for cars, hobbies or storage. The ground floor offers four reception rooms including a lounge centred on an Inglenook-style fireplace and a sunny conservatory overlooking the manicured rear garden.
Upstairs there are five well-proportioned bedrooms served from a generous landing. The principal suite includes full-length built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite; the remaining bedrooms share a sizable family bathroom. The kitchen is well-equipped with a breakfast bar and good storage and has clear potential to be opened into the dining room to create a contemporary kitchen/diner.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls that appear to lack added insulation. The decor is traditional and some areas are dated, so buyers should expect modernisation and potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is high — both relevant for working families and those needing reliable internet.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this is an adaptable forever home in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with good access to Norwich, local primary schools rated Good, and commuter routes. It will suit a growing family seeking space, privacy and character, with scope to improve and add value over time.
