4 bed bungalow for sale

Stocks Hill, Bawburgh, Norwich NR9

Originally built in the 1950s, Whispering Beeches has been renovated and extended by the current owners to provide a well-proportioned single storey family home, set in 0.77 acres. An entrance hall leads through to an open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, which steps down into the sitting room. The space has underfloor heating and is triple aspect, centred on a wood burner, with French doors opening onto the patio.

The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. Three further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, and a study provides a fifth bedroom if required. A separate utility room and boot room/cloakroom complete the accommodation.

The property is approached through electric cast iron gates to a gravelled driveway, providing parking for several vehicles, with a double garage and a further single garage. Outbuildings provide storage and workshop space, and a summer house with a kitchenette and wood-burning stove is suited to home working.

The gardens wrap around the property and are enclosed by mature planting, with a paved courtyard and raised borders to the front. To the rear, a patio includes a covered bar area for year-round entertaining, alongside a lawned garden. The property benefits from a solar array situated on the south facing roof.

Bawburgh is a conservation village on the River Yare, some five miles west of Norwich. The village is centred on its green and the Kings Head public house, with an active village hall and a parish church dedicated to St Mary and St Walstan, the latter a focus of medieval pilgrimage. Bawburgh Lakes golf club lies within the parish.

The property is well placed for Norwich, with its shopping, cultural amenities and rail connections to London Liverpool Street, and for the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Longwater retail park, with a range of supermarkets and other stores, is a short drive away. The Norwich southern bypass gives swift access to the A47, A11 and A146.
