Description

This distinguished single-storey bungalow offers an exceptional blend of privacy, generous grounds, and remarkable renovation potential, situated just a short distance from Norwich. Nestled behind a secure gated entrance on approximately 0.7 acres of established grounds, this property is a unique find that combines rural tranquility with the convenience of city living. The home is devoid of immediate neighbors, providing an enviable sense of seclusion rarely found so close to the city. This prime positioning makes it ideal for those interested in a peaceful lifestyle, remote working opportunities, or future expansion possibilities, pending necessary approvals. Spanning around 1,375 sq. ft., the well-lit layout consists of three spacious bedrooms served by a family bathroom, alongside a generous kitchen/dining area and a conservatory that seamlessly connects indoor living with the expansive gardens. The property also includes a comfortable sitting room with attractive views. Externally, the extensive driveway accommodates ample parking and leads to a double garage—perfect for business operations or as additional storage space. The mature gardens not only offer privacy but also breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Properties like this—combining land, flexibility for extension or reconfiguration, proximity to Norwich—are seldom available on the market. The Smithy stands as more than just a residence; it represents an investment opportunity ripe for enhancement or even complete redesign if desired. Swardeston village enhances this offering with its charming community atmosphere and direct access to Norwich's amenities while retaining its rural allure. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike, it's well-serviced by transport links that facilitate easy commutes to cities like Cambridge and London. For those seeking space without sacrificing the comforts of nearby urban conveniences, this property is an attractive choice with significant development potential.
