Built in 2024, this four-bedroom townhouse offers a fresh, contemporary feel throughout, with plenty of natural light and well-planned spaces across three floors. The layout is ideal for families or anyone wanting room to grow, with generous bedrooms and a private top-floor suite. The kitchen and living areas are stylish yet practical, creating a relaxed setting for everyday life or entertaining. A well-kept rear garden provides a peaceful outdoor escape, perfect for unwinding or hosting friends. The property also benefits from off-road parking and the reassurance of a long NHBC warranty. Its position on the Sprowston/Rackheath border means shops, green spaces and great transport links are all close at hand. Overall, it’s a welcoming, move-in-ready home in a location that offers both convenience and a sense of community.
The Location
Metcalf Road sits in the well-served village of Rackheath, a friendly and steadily developing community on the outskirts of Norwich. The village offers a practical mix of everyday amenities, including a convenience store, primary school, post office, and a popular local pub. There’s also a village hall and playing field that host community events and activities, giving Rackheath a close-knit feel without being isolated.
Transport links are a strong point, with straightforward access to the NDR and A47 for anyone commuting to Norwich, the Broads, or nearby market towns. Regular bus services make travel into the city easy for work, shopping, or evenings out.
For outdoor time, Rackheath is surrounded by green spaces, footpaths, and quiet lanes, ideal for dog walkers or anyone who enjoys a slower pace. The Norfolk Broads are only a short drive away, offering boating, nature reserves, and waterside pubs. And with Norwich close by, you’ve got plenty of choice for bigger supermarkets, restaurants, cinemas, and other leisure spots.
Overall, it’s a good fit for people who want a quieter, more relaxed setting while staying within comfortable reach of everything they need day-to-day.
Metcalf Road, Rackheath
Built in 2024 and still covered by nine years of NHBC warranty, this modern four-bedroom semi-detached townhouse offers a bright, comfortable and ready-to-move-into home. Set on the edge of Sprowston and Rackheath, it enjoys the best of both areas with great access to local amenities, transport links and the beautiful Norfolk Broads.
The current owners have already found their onward home, making this an ideal and straightforward purchase for the next owner.
The ground floor welcomes you with a light entrance hall leading to a stylish kitchen fitted with contemporary units and integrated appliances. To the rear, the generous lounge-diner is a lovely social space, filled with natural light from side windows and French doors opening onto the garden.
A handy downstairs WC completes the layout.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a modern family bathroom. Rising again to the top floor, you’ll find the impressive main bedroom – a peaceful retreat featuring two Velux windows, ample space for furniture and its own private en-suite.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed and easy to enjoy, mainly laid to lawn with a patio area and a selection of established plants and shrubs. There’s a side gate providing access to the driveway at the front, where off-road parking sits alongside a neat planted area.
With gas central heating, mains services and a bright, welcoming feel throughout, this is a wonderful “turn-key” home in a convenient and increasingly popular location.
Perfect for those looking for modern living, great transport connections and a property they can simply move into and enjoy.
