This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Timothy Close is a solid mid-20th-century home offered chain-free and ready for a comprehensive update. Its single-storey layout, larger-than-average rear garden and opportunity to extend (subject to planning) make it a strong project for downsizers or buyers seeking one-level living with future value uplift.
The property benefits from a private driveway, adjoining garage and direct garden access from the principal bedroom. Internally the bungalow offers a spacious open-plan lounge/dining room, a generous kitchen and three well-proportioned bedrooms — practical for visitors, carers, or a home office setup. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Important practical points: the house needs modernisation throughout, with renovation work required to bring services, finishes and décor up to contemporary standards. The local area is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels, which may concern some buyers and could affect resale preferences. There is no recorded flooding risk, and the solid cavity walls and gas central heating provide a useful starting point for refurbishment.
For buyers comfortable with a renovation project, the plot size and cul-de-sac location offer immediate benefits: space for outdoor living, off-road parking, and potential to extend (STPP) to add value. Proximity to Mousehold Heath, nearby schools (several rated Good or Outstanding) and quick access to the Northern Distributor Road provide practical everyday convenience and links to Norwich city centre and the coast.
