26 The Street presents a rare and exciting opportunity in a secluded position in the heart of Old Costessey. Located at the end of a long shared private driveway, the property is an architect designed bungalow with spacious and versatile accommodation. It now offers enormous potential to upgrade and adapt or replace, subject to the necessary planning consents.

They were landscaped by the vendor's grandparents and have a wide array of established shrubs and mature specimen trees, presenting a beautiful backdrop for the property.
The front door opens to an entrance porch which leads to a spacious entrance hall. The living space is on the south west side of the property with large windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen has been fitted in a comprehensive range of wall and base units and is double aspect with a door to outside. It connects to the part vaulted sitting room with fireplace. A door leads to the study which has access to the rear terrace. Off the hall is a substantial boiler room which could be adapted for a variety of purposes, and which is large enough to become a further double bedroom, subject to the relevant consents.
The bedrooms are in two sections. The principal bedroom is to one side and has an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Accessed from the outside is a store.
The property is approached via a shared private drive leading to parking for several cars. A path leads to the front door and a path also continues around the property. The property is well-placed within its plot, positioned to enjoy the southerly aspect to the rear and having excellent buffers between neighbours that allow for high levels of privacy and seclusion. In dividing the plot and building a house next door, the vendors have gone to great lengths to ensure the feeling of seclusion is maintained. The gardens are a very special feature of the property.
