## Description

**SUMMARY** **** GUIDE PRICE £205,000 - £215,000

3 bedroom semi-detached house at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, close to the Norfolk Showground and road links. The property is well designed with versatile living spaces including a 22'1 max triple aspect lounge and separate dining room. The kitchen features solid wood worktops, a butler sink and integrated appliances. A generous plot and a good location make this a great package!

**OUTSIDE** **** The front garden measures approx. 51' x 31' max. and is mainly brickweave and shingle, with pretty, neat borders. Access to the rear garden is via a gate to the right hand side of the property.

The approx. 38' x 29' max. enclosed rear garden consists of lawn with a generous patio area, a brick built outbuilding; part of which houses the oil tank, plus mature trees and borders.

**DIRECTIONS** **** From central Norwich, take Dereham Road out of the city. At the Longwater roundabout, take the second exit, crossing over the A47 Southern Bypass towards the Norfolk Showground. At the next roundabout take the second exit towards Easton. Continue along this road, turning left in to Marlingford Road.
