The Property Built in the 1980s, this link-detached house offers spacious accommodation with a practical layout over three floors. There is ample scope to improve and extend and the vendor has plans drawn up by a local architect for a proposed scheme. The kitchen has been updated over the years and comprises a range of floor and wall units with Neff split level oven and electric hob and has space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The sitting/dining room is well lit from three aspects and enjoys delightful views over the rear garden. There is a fireplace with open hearth and a glazed bay with door to garden. Additionally, leading off the hallway is the cloakroom which in turn leads through to a lobby, a utility room and a garage – all very convenient.

The accommodation on the first and second floor is generous with four of the bedrooms having built-in wardrobes. There is scope to convert one of the bedrooms on the first floor into an ensuite shower room and dressing room to serve the master bedroom (currently being uses as an office). There is also potential to install a shower room on the second floor by incorporating the eaves cupboard and part of the landing. 

Outside The property is approached off Grove Road via a bridge over a beck. The front garden extends to the road and incorporates the beck and overall the plot amounts to around one third of an acre. A pedestrian gate to the side of the house gives access to the rear garden which incorporates gravelled and paved patio areas. There is a garden shed to the south boundary and the majority of garden is laid to lawn with shrub borders and mature trees including a large cherry. A gap in the rear hedge leads through to a vegetable plot with raised beds and a garden shed.

Agents Note: Some of the properties along Grove Road, including Grove Lodge, fell victim to flooding during the exceedingly heavy rainfall encountered in parts of South Norfolk in December 2020. Remedial works have been carried out in the village to mitigate any chance of future flooding and the only outstanding item is a blocked headwall at the top of the village at the Scole end. A plan has been agreed with the landowner to tackle it together with highways and works are expected to be completed by the end of January 2022.
