Description

Guide Price: £425,000-£450,000. Nestled in one of Cringleford’s most sought-after streets, this four-bedroom home combines classic charm with modern living. Its red brick façade and landscaped frontage hint at the quality within. Inside, herringbone flooring runs seamlessly through the entrance hall, study, sitting room, and the spacious kitchen diner with a bay nook and patio doors leading to the garden. The kitchen, finished in neutral tones with monochrome fixtures and integrated appliances, is complemented by a practical utility room. Upstairs, the master suite boasts a sleek shower ensuite, alongside three further bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom. Outside, a private garden and side tandem driveway with garage offer space, convenience, and versatility. With excellent connections to the city, the A47, and local amenities, this property is ideal for families seeking both comfort and accessibility.
The Location
Cringleford enjoys a reputation as one of Norwich’s most desirable suburbs, a village that offers both calm and connectivity in equal measure. With a wealth of everyday amenities close to hand, including local shops, play areas, and well-regarded schools, it’s particularly popular with families and professionals alike. The village itself combines a strong sense of community with the convenience of modern living, providing a welcoming environment for residents of all ages.
The area benefits from excellent transport connections. Frequent bus services link directly to the city centre, while major road networks, including the nearby A11 and easy access to the Earlham Road, ensure that commuting or travelling further afield is straightforward. The Thickthorn junction, in particular, provides a quick route onto the A11, making journeys toward Cambridge, London, or the wider Norfolk area remarkably simple.
Cringleford is also well positioned for those working at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital or studying at the UEA, both of which are within easy reach by foot, bike, or a short drive, making daily commutes convenient and stress-free.
Despite its connectivity, the village remains embraced by leafy surroundings and open countryside. Residents enjoy riverside walks, green spaces, and the chance to unwind in a quiet environment. Cringleford perfectly balances the best of both worlds: a slower pace of life amid natural beauty, without ever feeling far removed from the vibrancy and amenities of the city.

The sitting room provides a comfortable and inviting space for relaxation, while a convenient ground floor WC adds to the practicality of this family home.

The kitchen is finished in neutral tones, paired with monochrome fixtures and integrated appliances, and is complemented by a handy utility room.
