This expansive detached residence is situated on approximately 1.2 acres of land, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and development. Spanning over 2,266 square feet, the property presents a blank canvas for discerning buyers looking to modernize and enhance its existing features. Set against a tranquil backdrop with direct river access, the home enjoys a setting that combines natural beauty with ample space for potential expansion (subject to planning).
Constructed in the 1970s and held by the same family for over four decades, this home features a versatile layout with up to five reception areas, including an impressive elevated sitting room that captures light from dual aspect windows. The entryway welcomes you into a spacious porch leading to an airy hall with striking architectural elements, such as high ceilings and exposed brickwork. The open-plan dining area flows seamlessly to the kitchen, which has panoramic views of the lush gardens.
The property boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms located on the upper level, along with a family bathroom that can be updated to suit modern living standards. One bedroom even features a built-in shower cubicle, providing opportunities to create an en-suite or additional storage options if desired.
Outside, extensive gardens envelop the home, featuring a mix of manicured lawns and mature trees that provide privacy and serenity. With its generous garden space leading directly to the riverbank, outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the potential for kayaking or fishing right from their backyard.
Located in Tasburgh—approximately eight miles south of Norwich—this property benefits from being near various amenities such as schools, public transport links, and local shops in nearby Long Stratton. Given its location and size, there is significant investment potential in transforming this house into a stunning family home or rental opportunity.
It's important to note that while some updates have been made following water damage from a leak in the loft—which includes new ceilings—the property still requires cosmetic work throughout. An asbestos survey has also been conducted due to building age; typical considerations for renovations in older properties.
In summary, this residence offers considerable potential for those willing to invest time and resources into restoration and modernization while enjoying peace within nature's embrace.
