abbotFox Bespoke presents this very impressive, recently improved family home in a much sought after location just 6 miles west of Norwich.
Introduction
A detailed and stylish refurbishment has brought a new lease of life to this traditional family home, which is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac location on the outskirts of Norwich.
Sociable and flexible living spaces have been combined with modern luxuries as well as four well-proportioned bedrooms and great entertaining spaces.
Inside
Both floors are dominated by light and airy spaces which are accessed off a large entrance hall in the centre. Living spaces include a sitting room, conservatory and a good-sized dining room, plus a modern Shaker-style kitchen and breakfast room, which is ideal for busy families.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are located off a large first-floor landing and there is a good-sized family bathroom.
Outside
Number 21 is tucked away in a plot of just over a quarter of an acre and the area is well-loved by those who live there.
There’s no passing traffic but ample off-road parking, which is provided by a paved driveway positioned behind a gated entrance.
The rear lawn is of a good size and, in summer, the garden is screened by a boundary of large and leafy trees.
The conservatory and dining room also have access to an impressive sun terrace, which provides ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, including for a gazebo, outdoor dining area or space for a sauna and jacuzzi.
Reception Rooms
The sitting room is an ideal space for families to relax in and is fitted with a modern fireplace surrounded by statement tiling.
A conservatory is located at the rear of the space, offering lovely views out over the garden and doors either side, which provide immediate access to the rear terrace.
The separate dining room can either be entered through the entrance hall or via the sitting room through a set of internal, glass-paned doors. These can be kept open, to create one large open-plan reception area, or left closed to create a more private and intimate dining space.
A more informal dining area can also be found in the breakfast room.
Bedrooms And Bathrooms
All four bedrooms are located on the first floor. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room and the family bathroom is modern and well-fitted, featuring a panelled bath with a rainfall shower over the top and complete with decorative gold fixtures.
Two of the remaining bedrooms also have fitted wardrobes and there is a convenient cloakroom downstairs.
Features
Attention to detail runs through every room of this carefully renovated property, combining the high-end luxury you would expect to find in a new build with all the charm and familiarity of an older, more established home.
There’s underfloor heating to the downstairs kitchen, dining and breakfast areas, and new carpets upstairs. It’s also been fully redecorated throughout, bringing the rooms right up to date for a modern family.
The kitchen has been completely modernised and the outdoor terrace is a real highlight, creating lots of additional dining and entertaining space that’s proven a hit with the current vendors and their neighbours.
There is also ample off-road parking and a good-sized lawn.
Practicalities
The kitchen is fitted with a beautiful yet practical range of Shaker-style cabinets and quartz worktops, plus a full range of integrated Bosch appliances including an electric hob and twin eye-level ovens.
Adjoining the kitchen is a good-sized utility room and there is also a study on the ground floor, which could remain as is or be converted into a playroom or perhaps even a snug.
The property is fitted with an integrated wood burner and it has been fully redecorated and renovated.
Plenty of off-road parking is provided on a private driveway and a detached garage is located to the side.
Location
Hinshalwood Way is a quiet cul-de-sac located in Old Costessey, a sought -after suburb near Norwich. There is a doctor’s surgery, post office and several shops nearby, as well as two local pubs, a retail park and good road links which provide easy connections to the city centre and popular north Norfolk coast.
Families
Old Costessey is popular with families thanks to its combination of built amenities and proximity to nature.
For those who like to be outdoors, there’s lots to do nearby. Taverham Mill offers four lakes, an old weir and mill pool on the River Wensum, which is ideal for anglers, walkers and those who love to be out in nature, and there’s also lots of local woodlands nearby too.
Marriott’s Way, a 26-mile footpath, bridleway and cycle route is popular with families and also within easy reach.
Norwich city centre is 15 minutes away by car and provides a wide range of independent and high street shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
Norwich Research Park, which includes the John Innes Centre and Earlham Institute, as well as the University of East Anglia are also close by.
Both state and private schools can be found nearby, including Bluebell Nursery and Langley Pre-Prep and Prep School, which is nestled in 100 acres of woodland and provides education to pupils aged from six months to 13 years.
Further schooling can also be found in the neighbouring areas of Old Costessey, Taverham and Drayton, and there are several high schools, colleges and sixth forms in nearby Norwich.
Our Agent's View
“Homes on Hinshalwood Way don’t come up for sale very often, largely because families who buy there tend to stay.
The area is a bit of a hidden gem. It’s quiet and peaceful and has a real and enduring sense of community - but it’s also within striking distance of some of the best that Norfolk has to offer, including the city centre and the north Norfolk coast.
The current owners have made some really impressive alterations and improvements to this family home over the past eight years, and the finish is exceptional. No expense has been spared and nothing has been compromised.
I’m sure it will become a beloved home for another family in the very near future.”
