3 Bedroom Detached House

There is something appealing about a bungalow that sits comfortably within its own garden. This one occupies a central position on a lovely plot of around 0.17 acres, with mature trees and established boundaries giving it a settled, private feel, all within a quiet cul-de-sac.

If we had to suggest who would be particularly suited to this home, we would say downsizers who still want a garden and space for hobbies, couples looking for a quieter village base, and buyers who want a home with enough flexibility to adapt over time. It would also suit a small family who values outdoor space and easy access to Long Stratton.

The bungalow has already been extended to create a practical home with plenty of flexibility, while there is also potential to extend further, subject to the necessary planning permission. For buyers looking for somewhere they can move straight into but gradually make their own, this combination is particularly useful.

The living room is a comfortable place to settle in, with an open fire providing a natural focal point on colder evenings. It is open through to a second seating area, a snug where you can you can throw open the double doors to the garden and relax there too. It's a great arrangement for everyday life - somewhere to relax, somewhere to retreat to, and a natural connection with the garden when the weather allows.

The kitchen and dining room is a particularly useful space, large enough to all gather for family meals whilst retaining plenty of room for the practical business of everyday life. From here, a rear porch provides a useful transition between the house and garden, with plenty of scope for keeping coats, boots and muddy shoes out of the main living areas.

There are two good-sized double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite WC. The third bedroom is smaller but perhaps more interesting for its flexibility. It would make a very useful home office, study, playroom or hobby space depending on what you need from the house.

A modern family shower room completes the main accommodation.

Outside is where this property really starts to feel different.

The bungalow sits centrally within its plot, with gardens wrapping around the house rather than simply being confined to the rear. The garden is a lovely blank canvas - there are already areas of patio for sitting and entertaining outside, while the surrounding space could be adapted in all sorts of ways. There is room for children to play, space to grow fruit and vegetables, and plenty of opportunity for a keen gardener to gradually create something that is entirely their own.
Mature trees and good fencing provide privacy and security, and it is all accessed from a gated driveway, which provides plenty of parking space for several cars, and even a boat or caravan, alongside a detached single garage.

And then there is the location.

The property sits within a village setting where everyday life feels pleasantly uncomplicated. The Fox & Hounds, a well-regarded local pub serving food and drink, is within walking distance - the sort of amenity that becomes part of the rhythm of village life rather than something you have to get in the car for.

For the more practical side of life, Long Stratton is close by, providing schooling, shops, supermarkets, healthcare and other everyday amenities, while Norwich, Diss and Wymondham are all within straightforward reach.

This is not a home that needs to shout for attention. It has a good plot, a practical layout, a peaceful village setting and enough scope to evolve with its next owners. Perhaps most importantly, it gives you something increasingly difficult to find - a home with proper outside space and the freedom to make it your own.
