GARAGE
Outside is where this home really comes into its own. The rear garden is both generous and beautifully established, beginning with a large patio ideal for outdoor dining before opening onto an extensive lawn bordered by a wonderful variety of mature trees and shrubs, creating a private and peaceful setting. There is also useful shed storage together with access to the single garage.
To the front, a substantial hardstanding driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage, while the impressive Old Hall wall creates a striking approach and a remarkable degree of privacy rarely found on such a well-connected road.
An additional feature is the fully boarded loft space, complete with power, lighting and a Velux window. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, this offers excellent potential for conversion into further accommodation.
Whilst some areas of the property would now benefit from cosmetic updating, it represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial family home with outstanding potential. Buyers can comfortably move straight in and enjoy everything the property has to offer whilst improving it over time to suit their own tastes and requirements.
Homes of this size, on plots of this nature, rarely become available in Old Catton. Early viewing is highly recommended.
LOCATION St Faiths Road is one of Old Catton's most established and desirable residential addresses, renowned for its attractive character homes, generous plots and convenient access to Norwich city centre.
Residents enjoy an excellent range of nearby amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, healthcare facilities and highly regarded primary and secondary schools. The area is also well served by parks, recreation grounds and countryside walks, making it particularly popular with families.
Excellent transport links provide quick access to Norwich city centre, the Norwich Ring Road, Northern Distributor Road (NDR) and the A47, making commuting across Norfolk both convenient and straightforward.
Combining generous space, mature surroundings and exceptional convenience, this is a location that continues to be one of the most sought-after in the Norwich area.
