Northumberland Street, Norwich
Step through the porch and into a light-filled open-plan interior, where the lounge flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Walls are painted in soft grey, complemented by fresh carpets and a recessed alcove provides space for a fireplace or display feature. A front-facing window brings in natural light, while the kitchen stands out with newly installed kitchen fittings, stylish cabinetry, warm wooden worktops, and built-in storage cupboards. Integrated appliances include an oven and hob, with tiled flooring, modern pendant lighting, and a breakfast-bar peninsula offering both workspace and a spot for casual dining. A door opens directly onto the garden, extending the living space outdoors.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, both bright and versatile in use. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with a four-piece layout, featuring a bathtub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Large format tiling, a chrome heated towel rail, and a clean neutral scheme, together with newly installed fittings, complete the contemporary design.
Additionally, the home has been updated with new plumbing, electrics, roofing, and double glazing, giving buyers confidence in the quality and longevity of the renovation.
The rear garden is a private outdoor space, not overlooked and non-bisected, with new fencing, a freshly laid lawn, a patio area, outdoor lighting, and power sockets, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There is room for outdoor seating and planting, making it both practical and inviting, while its quiet setting enhances the sense of privacy.
Off-road parking is provided by a driveway to the front, along with a garage, giving further options for storage, hobbies, or future conversion (subject to planning).
The property’s quiet and leafy surroundings are a rare find in this location, yet local amenities, schools, cafés, and Norwich city centre are just a short walk away, along with easy access to the train station and major routes.
