Some properties are simply different - and this is one of them.
This striking hall entrance end-terrace occupies a particularly interesting position within the ever-popular NR3 postcode. Originally converted from a traditional shop with accommodation above, it has evolved into a highly individual three-bedroom home with a surprisingly versatile layout and an impressive list of extras.
The ground floor is a real highlight. A bright and airy open-plan living, dining and kitchen space creates a superb central hub to the home, with modern fitted cabinetry and plenty of natural light. From here, there is access to a very useful basement, complete with power and lighting, providing excellent additional storage or potential workspace.
Also on the ground floor is a shower room, separate WC and a further reception room. This versatile space could suit a variety of needs, whether as a snug, home office, playroom, hobby room or simply an additional sitting room.
The first floor provides three generous bedrooms, all arranged from a central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering excellent proportions and a double aspect which floods the room with natural light.
The first floor is completed by both a shower room with WC and a further bathroom, providing excellent facilities for a three-bedroom home.
Outside is where this property becomes particularly unusual for NR3. To the front there is off-street parking for approximately two to three vehicles - a significant rarity for properties in this part of Norwich.
To the rear is a spacious courtyard garden together with a substantial brick-built workshop measuring approximately 4.73m x 2.46m. With its pitched roof, the workshop offers considerably more than simple storage and could lend itself to a range of alternative uses, subject to any necessary permissions.
The house itself is presented in excellent, move-in-ready condition internally, meaning the major work has already been done. Outside, however, there remains scope for a new owner to put their own stamp on the exterior and potentially make an already special property even more impressive.
Ultimately, this is a home that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated. The combination of hall entrance, end-of-terrace position, generous accommodation, basement, additional reception room, three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, rare off-street parking, substantial workshop and courtyard garden makes it unlike the majority of properties available in NR3.
For buyers looking for something a little different, with genuine character, flexibility and further potential, this is a particularly exciting opportunity.
