The ground floor is designed with both family living and entertaining in mind. At its heart lies an impressive lounge, a beautifully proportioned space filled with natural light, seamlessly opening into a generous snug - perfect for more relaxed living or entertaining guests. A separate study provides a quiet and practical workspace, while the formal dining room offers an elegant setting for hosting.
To the rear, a garden room enjoys uninterrupted views across the south-facing garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen/breakfast room is notably spacious, offering extensive cabinetry and ample room for informal dining, complemented by a separate utility room.
Upstairs, 4 bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, where the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite, as does the second bedroom, while a family bathroom and additional WC serve the remaining rooms. The layout offers excellent flexibility for growing families or multi-generational living. This is a home that offers not only immediate comfort but also outstanding potential for modernisation or reconfiguration, allowing a buyer to create something truly bespoke.
OUTSIDE
Set on a generous half acre plot (STMS), this impressive home is tucked away toward the end of an exclusive private no-through-road off Colney Lane. A sweeping in-and-out tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a brick-built garage with an electric roller door, power and lighting.
The striking front of the house is laid to lawn featuring mature trees enhancing the setting, plus a soakaway. To the rear, the property truly shines. The south-facing garden is expansive, private and mainly laid to lawn, with mature borders and trees providing excellent screening. A generous patio terrace sits directly behind the house, ideal for outdoor dining, while a vegetable plot and various planting areas add scope for keen gardeners. A covered passageway connects the garage and utility area to the rear garden for added convenience.
Backing onto Newmarket Road, the garden enjoys a private outlook and a rare opportunity to secure a spacious plot in one of Norwich's most desirable areas.
LOCATION
Cringleford is a highly desirable suburb located approximately 2 miles south-west of Norwich city centre. Known for its blend of historic charm and modern developments, the village offers excellent amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, local shops and green spaces. Its close proximity to Eaton - just a short drive or bus ride away - provides residents with additional shopping options, eateries and access to the University of East Anglia. Cringleford also benefits from being moments away from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, UEA, Sportspark and Norwich Research Park, making it especially popular with academics, healthcare professionals and families seeking an affluent and well-connected neighbourhood. Its location near the A11 also makes it ideal for commuters heading towards Cambridge and London.
DIRECTIONS
From the centre of Cringleford, cross over the A11 Newmarket Road via Colney Lane. Take the first turning on the left-hand side into the private, no through road, Colney Drive. The property can be found on the left-hand side, towards the end.
