Situated in one of Norwich’s most prestigious and sought-after locations, this substantial detached family home offers over 2,500 sq. Ft. Of versatile living space and an exciting opportunity for enhancement. The property features four double bedrooms, including a master with direct access to the bathroom, a generous sitting room with a modern inset wood burner, and a separate dining/family room. The kitchen includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while twin conservatories to the front and rear provide additional, flexible living areas.
While already offering spacious and adaptable accommodation, the property could benefit from improvements in certain areas, allowing purchasers the chance to put their own stamp on this impressive home. There is also scope to further improve and extend (subject to planning), with planning permission already granted for a ground and first-floor extension and an undercover pool room in the rear garden.
This exceptional residence combines space, prestige, and potential, presenting a rare opportunity to create a truly individual home in one of Norwich’s most desirable locations.
The Outside
A shingle driveway, accessed through double gates from the road, leads to a generous parking area and a double garage with sliding doors, lighting, and power. The property occupies a plot of approximately 0.51 acres, with gardens that wrap around the house and feature expansive lawns and mature, well-established borders, offering excellent privacy and seclusion. To the rear, a raised decked terrace provides an attractive outlook over the gently sloping garden and the enclosed swimming pool, which is currently covered with decking. The pool has not been used for some time, and its condition is therefore unknown. Beneath part of the house, there is a subdivided, height-restricted basement storage area with external access. The garden is finished with paved and decked areas, raised lawns, and mature shrubs, creating a private and beautifully landscaped outdoor setting.
Location Overview
Gurney Lane is located in the ever-popular village and suburb of Cringleford, south of Norwich. The area offers a peaceful residential setting with lovely walks along the River Yare, leading towards the uea Broad. A wide range of amenities can be found nearby in Eaton, including a Waitrose supermarket, pharmacy, public houses, hairdressers, and opticians. The property also enjoys convenient access to the A11, Norwich Research Park, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and the University of East Anglia, making it ideal for professionals and families alike.
The thriving city centre of Norwich provides outstanding retail, dining, and cultural opportunities, with its award-winning market, an array of cafés and restaurants, theatres, galleries, and a vibrant arts scene. The city’s rich history and diverse architecture offer a perfect balance between modern living and historic charm. Norwich also boasts highly regarded schooling in both the private and public sectors, alongside the University of East Anglia.
Norwich benefits from excellent transport connections, including a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street (with journey times from around 90 minutes) and an international airport to the north of the city, ensuring convenient links for both commuting and travel.
Directions
From Cringleford, cross the A11 via Colney Lane and continue straight. Turn right onto Gurney Lane, where the property is located on the left-hand side.
Agents Note
We have been advised that planning permission has been granted for a two-storey extension and pool room. This planning permission is due to lapse in January 2026 (South Norfolk Council Ref: 2022/1886).
The property features solar panels and air conditioning units in some rooms; however, we have not tested the systems.
In the rear garden, the property includes a swimming pool which has not been used for several years and is currently decked over. As such, we are unable to comment on the condition of the pool.
