Occupying a quiet position on the edge of the estate, overlooking open greenery and within easy reach of the vibrant centre of Norwich, this substantial detached residence offers an exceptional balance of space, privacy and connection. Arranged across three beautifully presented floors, the home has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, from the bespoke open-plan kitchen and vaulted garden room made for entertaining, to five versatile bedrooms and a landscaped, non-overlooked garden complete with firepit and pergola. Immaculate in finish and generous in proportion, it is a home that feels both refined and effortlessly liveable.

Location

Windsor Park Gardens is located on the northern outskirts of Norwich, close to the suburbs of Old Catton and Sprowston, offering a quieter, more residential setting while remaining within easy reach of the city. The city centre is approximately 3 miles south, making it a short drive of around 10–15 minutes, or easily accessible by local bus services.

For daily shopping, there are small local convenience stores nearby, along with larger supermarkets within a few minutes’ drive, while the broader range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities in the city centre are also easily accessible. Families benefit from good schooling options close by: White Woman Lane Junior School, Lodge Lane Infant School, and Old Catton Church of England Junior School serve younger children, while older students can attend Sprowston Community Academy, just over a mile away.

Transport connections are convenient: regular bus routes connect to Norwich city centre and surrounding areas, while the Norwich Ring Road provides straightforward car access to other parts of Norfolk. The area is popular with families and professionals seeking a suburban lifestyle that balances quiet residential streets with accessibility to schools, shops, and city amenities. Green spaces, local parks, and a generally low-traffic environment contribute to a comfortable, community-focused lifestyle.

Windsor Park Gardens

On the very edge of the development, where the estate gives way to open greenery, this substantial detached residence enjoys a wonderfully quiet position on the outer fringes of the vibrant cathedral city of Norwich. Overlooking a sweep of green and down a quiet road, it offers that increasingly rare balance: a peaceful, almost semi-rural outlook, yet within easy reach of essential amenities.

A brick-weave driveway provides generous off-road parking and leads to a double garage with an up-and-over door, complete with power and lighting, ideal for secure storage, a workshop, or future hobbies long imagined. The frontage is neatly maintained, framed by manicured hedging, setting the tone for the immaculate presentation within.

Step inside and you are welcomed by a bright and airy entrance hall, where wooden laminate flooring flows underfoot and a textured grey stair runner, paired with chrome stair rods, draws the eye gracefully upward. A tastefully decorated WC sits conveniently off the hall, while throughout the home the finish is impeccable, quality fixtures and fittings chosen with care, creating a cohesive and refined aesthetic across all three generous floors.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen/dining room, a space designed as much for convivial gatherings as for everyday family rhythm. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with quality cabinetry, worktops and a central island crowned in granite, forming both a practical workspace and a natural gathering point. A Leisure range oven, set within an attractive surround, takes pride of place, complemented by a sink with drainer, integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Pendant lighting defines the dining area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for long suppers and relaxed weekend breakfasts. A separate utility room, fitted with additional storage units and under-counter space for a washing machine, ensures the practicalities of modern life are discreetly managed.

The sitting room is a calm and elegant space, bathed in natural light and centred around a charming Stone fireplace, the perfect setting for winter evenings. Internal double doors open seamlessly into the extended family room, where the reception space expands beneath a high vaulted ceiling. Here, skylights pour daylight into the room, while a cosy wood burner promises warmth in cooler months. French doors open directly onto the garden, blurring the boundary between inside and out and creating an effortless flow for summer entertaining.

Ascending to the first floor, a well-proportioned landing leads to the principal bedroom, positioned to the right-hand side of the residence for a sense of privacy. Stylish panelling adds character, while built-in storage cupboards keep the space serene and uncluttered. The en-suite is thoughtfully appointed, featuring a large shower cubicle, marble-top vanity with hand wash basin, WC and heated towel rail, a refined sanctuary to begin and end the day. Two further bedrooms on this floor offer comfort and versatility, both benefitting from built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is a particular highlight: a luxurious three-piece suite centred around a stunning bathtub, alongside a hand wash vanity and WC, all beautifully presented by the current owners.

The top floor adds yet another dimension to the home. Two additional bedrooms provide superb flexibility, whether arranged as a home office, a dressing room, nursery, playroom, snug or even a semi-independent space for older children, this level adapts effortlessly to changing family needs. A contemporary shower room with a modern three-piece suite and skylight completes the accommodation, the natural light enhancing the fresh, airy feel.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private, non-overlooked haven. A generous patio adjoins the house, leading onto a well-kept lawn bordered by established hedging. A sunken firepit area invites long summer evenings, while a timber-built pergola shelters a dedicated seating area, the perfect spot for comfortable outdoor furniture and relaxed entertaining. A substantial shed/workshop with electricity provides excellent additional workspace, complemented by a shingled area ideal for positioning a barbecue. Side access leads conveniently back into the garage, ensuring both practicality and cohesion in the overall design.

Altogether, this is a home that offers space to grow, to gather and to retreat; a residence that combines thoughtful design with a lifestyle-led layout. Positioned on the edge of the estate, with open greenery before it and the energy of Norwich just beyond, it represents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of city-edge living in refined, contemporary comfort.
