DESCRIPTION
A substantial and exceptionally well-balanced family residence, extending to over 3,233 sq. ft., this impressive detached home combines generous proportions, outstanding versatility and a remarkable sense of privacy, all within a highly sought-after setting close to the city centre.
Occupying an enviable plot of approximately 0.3 acres (STMS), the property offers a rare combination of space, seclusion and convenience. Hidden behind mature boundaries and approached via a private driveway, the house enjoys a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, while remaining within easy reach of the city's amenities.
At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open-plan living environment designed for modern family life. Beautifully extended and remodelled in 2022, this expansive kitchen, dining and family space is flooded with natural light from an impressive roof lantern and three sets of French doors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Underfloor heating throughout the extension enhances the sense of comfort and luxury, while the bespoke kitchen combines craftsmanship and practicality with hardwood worktops, a quartz-topped island and ample space for entertaining on any scale.
Complementing the sociable heart of the house are three further reception rooms, offering exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyles. Whether utilised as formal entertaining spaces, a home office, media room or children's snug, the layout effortlessly adapts to changing family needs. The elegant principal sitting room is particularly impressive, extending to over 27 feet in length and centred around a characterful wood-burning stove, with dual-aspect views across the gardens and French doors opening onto the terrace.
The sense of space continues upstairs, where five generously proportioned bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation. The principal suite offers a calm and private retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and stylish en suite. A second en suite serves two further bedrooms via a Jack & Jill arrangement, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed contemporary family bathroom. An additional adjoining room to Bedroom Two presents an exciting opportunity for a dressing room, nursery or dedicated home workspace.

Outside, the gardens are a defining feature of the property. Extending to approximately 0.3 acres, they provide a level of outdoor space rarely found so close to the city centre. Exceptionally private and beautifully established, the grounds enjoy natural screening from mature trees along the rear boundary, creating a tranquil backdrop throughout the year. Expanses of lawn provide ample space for children to play, while a substantial sun terrace and an elevated seating area have been carefully positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sun — perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxed family gatherings.
With extensive parking, a double garage, versatile living space and beautifully landscaped gardens, this is a home that successfully balances practicality with lifestyle, offering the scale and flexibility required for modern family living without compromising on comfort, privacy or location.

SITUATION
The property is ideally situated on Ipswich Road, just a short walk from Norwich city centre. Furthermore, bus stops are only one minute away, offering superb public transport connections. Residents benefit from convenient access to a wide range of amenities, including high-quality retail outlets, fine dining establishments, and many of the city’s principal cultural landmarks.
The oldest part of Norwich is the streets and alleys off Tombland, which is opposite the cathedral. Once popular residential streets for wealthy Norwich merchants but today a fascinatingly eclectic mix of private dwellings, antique shops, galleries, restaurants, tea rooms and a convenient cafe. There are a variety of historical period buildings on Elm Hill, including The Britons Arms, which dates to 1347 and is now a popular restaurant.
Norwich has a vibrant business community and, as the regional centre, has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including museums, the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, theatres, cinemas, Norwich City Football Club and numerous chains and independent restaurants and pubs.
In May each year, the city hosts the Norfolk and Norwich arts Festival, featuring music, theatre, dance, and other visual arts.
Norwich has an excellent range of state and private schools, and the University of East Anglia is located on the outskirts of the city.
The mainline railway station is either an easy walk or a short drive from Park Lane. There are regular direct trains to London (quoted by Greater Anglia at 1hr 50 mins to Liverpool Street Station) and a direct connection to Cambridge among other destinations. Norwich also has an expanding international Airport, which is just 4 miles north of the City.
Both the North Norfolk coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves, seals and sailing facilities, and the Norfolk Broads are within easy driving distance.
