Location

Snow Street is located in the peaceful Norfolk village of Roydon, a short drive from the bustling market town of Diss, offering a rare combination of rural serenity and everyday convenience. The village itself has a small but well-served centre, including a traditional village store, a local post office, and a welcoming pub, while Diss provides a wider selection of supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. Snow Street also benefits from a helpful and supportive community, with residents connected through a WhatsApp group originally set up during Covid and still actively used today. Families are well catered for, with Roydon Primary School just minutes away and Diss High School within easy reach, both providing strong educational options.

For transport, the village benefits from excellent connectivity: Diss railway station offers frequent services to Norwich, Cambridge, and London, and the nearby A140 ensures straightforward access by car to the surrounding towns and countryside. There are also convenient bus stops along the road, providing further public transport options for local and regional travel. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy along the banks of the River Waveney, where scenic walking and cycling routes meander through open fields, woodland, and riverside meadows, reflecting the area’s natural charm. The surrounding countryside is dotted with historic churches, quaint village greens, and traditional Norfolk farmsteads, offering a sense of heritage alongside everyday convenience.

Life on Snow Street blends the best of both worlds, a quiet, community-focused village setting with easy access to schools, shops, and transport links, all framed by the gentle beauty of the Waveney Valley countryside.

Snow Street

Set back from a quiet country lane, this beautifully presented three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a prominent corner plot in one of the village’s most desirable locations. Over the years, Snow Street has earned a reputation for being a sought-after address, where properties rarely come to market.

Thoughtfully enhanced and maintained, the bungalow extends to over 1,200 sqft of versatile, light-filled living space. A generous L-shaped entrance hall sets the tone, offering a welcoming introduction and substantial built-in storage.

The main reception rooms are spacious and filled with natural light from their southerly-facing windows. The principal living room features a large picture window with an external electric sun blind, creating a comfortable and bright environment throughout the day. The kitchen, a standout feature of the home, was replaced in 2020 and remains in pristine condition. Quartz worktops complement a comprehensive range of fitted units and integrated appliances, including a new double oven, dishwasher, electric hob, and extractor fan, alongside a fitted water softener. A utility room provides practical space for white goods and additional workspace.

The three bedrooms are situated to the right side of the property, ensuring a natural separation from the living areas. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite shower room. The main bathroom and separate WC has been replaced in recent years to a modern standard, with an L-shaped bathtub, WC’s and hand wash basins.

The current owners have invested in a range of sustainable and energy-saving measures, including 28 solar panels (owned outright) with two feed-in tariffs, a 10 kW battery pack, and an EV charging point. The loft has been re-insulated, the roof replaced, and most windows and doors upgraded. Heating is via a modern oil-fired boiler, installed just three years ago.

Externally, the bungalow sits on a generously sized corner plot of 0.23 acres (stms). A hardstanding driveway leads to the property and the detached double garage, which offers power, lighting, and a personal rear door. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped over the years, with mature planting, roses, shrubs, and specimen trees creating colour, interest, and privacy. Outdoor space is cleverly divided into three areas: Formal gardens to the side and rear, fully enclosed and enjoying a southerly aspect; a large paved patio leading to a lawn and shingle pathway towards a timber summerhouse; and a south-east facing garden with raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse. The front garden provides additional seclusion with interspersed shrubs and trees, creating a welcoming approach.

This exceptional home offers a rare combination of modern comfort, character, and a lifestyle defined by the connection to the Norfolk countryside, all within easy reach of a thriving market town.
