Description

This substantial detached house offers an impressive 2,917 sq. ft. of versatile living space, making it an ideal family home. Nestled on a generous plot of approximately half an acre, the property features four double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with convenient access to the bathroom. The spacious lounge, complete with an inset wood burner, and a separate dining/family room provide ample room for relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen has been recently upgraded, yet still requires some finishing touches, allowing buyers to personalize it to their taste. Additionally, two conservatories enhance the living space and provide further flexibility. The outdoor area is equally appealing, with double gates leading to a shingle driveway and a large parking area alongside a double garage. The expansive garden includes a raised decked terrace overlooking the garden and a swimming pool, which has not been used for some time and is currently covered with decking. While planning permission for a prior extension has lapsed, there is potential for further development subject to necessary consents. Located in the sought-after village of Cringleford, this property benefits from a peaceful residential setting while being close to local amenities and excellent transport links. This home presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious residence with significant potential in a desirable area.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial detached house in Cringleford, with over 2,500 sq. ft. of living space on a generous half-acre plot, presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property at a below-market price. With an asking price of £825,000, which is £283/sqft compared to the local average of £331/sqft, buyers are looking at a potential bargain that allows room for personal touches and upgrades.

While the home does show signs of wear throughout the living areas and bedrooms, these aspects provide a canvas for new owners to enhance and personalize to their taste. The kitchen requires some finishing touches, adding to the project scope, while the garden and bathroom are in good condition, offering a pleasant outdoor space and modern amenities to enjoy. With the potential for further extension, subject to consent, this property is not just a family home but also a canvas for your vision, making it a worthwhile investment in a popular area of Norwich.
