About this home
Positioned within the highly regarded Bishops Close, one of Thorpe St Andrew's most desirable residential addresses, this impressive detached bungalow offers spacious and beautifully presented accommodation in a location renowned for its lifestyle appeal.
Properties of this type are seldom available in such a sought-after setting, particularly within walking distance of the River Yare and the stunning Whitlingham Country Park, making this a rare opportunity for both families and downsizers seeking high-quality single-storey living.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully improved and extended to create a home that combines style, practicality and generous proportions throughout.
At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan living space that perfectly suits modern lifestyles. The kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly together whilst remaining subtly defined by a feature chimney breast with inset wood burner and a contemporary island unit. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with modern cabinetry and attractive wooden work surfaces.
The living area enjoys a bay window overlooking the front garden, whilst the dining area benefits from patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. There are four genuine double bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal suite created as part of the property's enhancements. This luxurious space enjoys direct access to the garden, a dressing room, an en-suite shower room and the added comfort of underfloor heating.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish refitted family bathroom, whilst a practical utility room provides additional convenience.
Outside, the property occupies a generous plot. The front garden is attractively landscaped with mature trees and shrubs surrounding a substantial lawned area. Ample driveway parking leads to the attached double garage with twin up-and-over doors.
The rear garden provides a wonderful outdoor environment, featuring extensive lawned areas, established flower and shrub beds, a covered patio seating area and a decked terrace, making it ideal for both entertaining and relaxation.
Combining spacious accommodation, stylish presentation and one of Norwich's finest suburban locations, this is an exceptional bungalow offering a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
