Arriving at this home on Tudor Road, what immediately stands out is the sense of space it enjoys both inside and out, something that becomes more apparent as you move through it.

To the rear, the open plan kitchen and dining area feels like the natural hub of the house, filled with light and opening directly onto the garden through two sets of French doors. The addition of a utility room and ground floor WC keeps the main living spaces clutter free and practical. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are well balanced, with the main bedroom benefitting from its own en-suite.

The Location

Rackheath is a village that still feels like a village, but with an increasing amount of life and convenience on the doorstep. Just five miles northeast of Norwich, it’s well-placed for anyone who wants a quieter home setting without feeling cut off. Everyday essentials are right in the village, including a convenience store, primary school, doctors’ surgery and a village hall that hosts community activities. There’s also a good amount of green space, with a playing field, play area and places to walk the dog. For food, drink and a bit of atmosphere, the Sole & Heel pub on Salhouse Road has become a real hub again since its refurbishment, offering a friendly pint, outdoor seating and regular social events.

One of Rackheath’s biggest advantages is how easy it is to get around. The ndr (Broadland Northway / A1270) runs right by the area and links very smoothly to the A47, which means commuting is genuinely straightforward whether you’re heading into Norwich or further afield. Bus travel is also practical, routes such as Konectbus 5 and 5B run regularly into the city, so you don’t have to rely solely on the car.

Cycling is becoming more realistic too, with routes connecting out toward Norwich and the surrounding villages.

Rackheath is also nicely placed between a number of other well-served areas. Just down the road, Sprowston offers bigger supermarkets, retail parks, takeaways and schools. Thorpe St Andrew is not far either, it has riverside walks, good places to eat and well-regarded education options including Thorpe St Andrew School.

Another big draw is how close Rackheath is to the countryside and the Broads. Salhouse Broad is just around the corner and offers beautiful walking routes, paddleboarding, boating and wildlife. For anyone who enjoys being outside, whether that’s cycling, dog walking, or just getting some fresh air, it’s a great location.

A private driveway leads to the garage, providing practical off-road parking and storage, while the frontage feels open and welcoming.

Inside, the entrance hall offers a good sense of space from the moment you step through the door. There is a ground floor WC, useful understair storage, and access to the main living areas. To the front of the property are two separate reception rooms, both enjoying front-facing windows. The sitting room is an ideal everyday living space, while the second reception room works equally well as a dining room, home office, study or playroom, depending on your needs.

The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen and dining space to the rear. This is a bright, social area designed for modern family life, with plenty of room for a dining table and optional breakfast bar seating within the kitchen layout.

Externally, the garden is a standout feature. The plot is generous, with a patio area directly off the rear of the house that works perfectly for outdoor seating and entertaining. Beyond this, a large lawn extends out, offering excellent space for children, gardening or simply enjoying the outdoors. The size and layout of the garden add real value and flexibility for future owners.

Overall, this is a well-balanced and thoughtfully laid out four bedroom home, ideal for families looking for space both inside and out.
