Are you searching for a village location, surrounded by countryside and with local amenities? Would you love to live on a peaceful cul de sac with friendly neighbours? Do you need a private bungalow with a South facing garden, which you can update to your own exact taste? If so, this semi detached home on Wensum Drive, easily accesses the Wensum Valley and is a must view to fully appreciate its position, the charming and homely feel, natural light and sounds of nature. A drop kerb is situated to the front of the home, which could create 1-2 parking spaces in place of the lawn garden and an en-bloc garage is situated 100ft from the home.

The Lifestyle
We believe the perfect buyer for this home is a client who is looking for a tranquil village life, and would prefer to buy a CHAIN FREE home, which they can modernise, within a friendly village location. Being surrounded by countryside, there are some great country and riverside walks, including the picturesque Wensum Valley, to enjoy with your loved ones. For those who love a local pub and live music, The Railway, is only a 5 minute walk away.

The Position

The home is nestled in the corner of a cul-de-sac and is privately set back from the close with an attractive garden and lawn. The home benefits from morning sun to the front, with the afternoon and late evening sun, into the rear garden. A lovely amber glow pours into the home and there is a seating area in the rear garden to enjoy this.
The home has en-bloc garage parking, which is located, close to the home.

The Home

A 2 bedroom semi-detached, traditionally built bungalow, of brick and tile construction with solid internal walls. Situated off the entrance hall is a 15ft sitting room, which has an open fire with the potential to fit a wood burning stove, perfect for cosying up on cold winter days.
Two double bedrooms are situated to the front and the rear, with the principle bedroom enjoying private views over the rear garden.
A bathroom is adjacent to this room as is the kitchen which has direct access to the rear garden.

Requiring Modernisation

The home looks structurally sound and as the home is modest in size, any works required, will fit a smaller and affordable budget. The home does require updating and is currently heated by electric and has single glazed with secondary glazing windows throughout. The kitchen and bathroom would benefit from updating and provides a good opportunity to really make it your own home. There is no gas on Wensum Drive, so a sensible option would be to install oil fired central heating or an air source heat pump.
