Strike is pleased to present this property in Norwich.
With all the benefits of city and country living combined, this three-storey townhouse has a waterfront location and rural outlook but is within a 20-minute walk of the city centre. The main accommodation is on the first and second floors. The spacious lounge has a balcony with room for bistro-style outdoor seating and a view across the river. Downstairs, the terrace patio has space for container planting and alfresco dining. You can simply sit back and enjoy the river and communal area – a beautiful garden without the hard work!
For wildlife lovers, the tree coverage along the riverside provides an exceptional view, and the riverbank is home to many birds and animals, including water voles, kingfishers, ducks, moorhens and swans. Garden birds, seagulls and even a cormorant are common sights along the river, and the garden is a haven for bees and butterflies in the summer.
The property has a large lounge and dining room, a kitchen with breakfast area, three bedrooms, a family bathroom, ensuite to the main bedroom and a third separate toilet and utility room on the ground floor. The downstairs accommodation is flexible, having been built as a double-length garage, but is currently split into a single garage and rear workshop/studio. To the front there is a brickweave courtyard parking area with designated (freehold) parking for one car in addition to the integral garage, and a separate lockable bike/storage cupboard.
The property benefits from a gas combi-boiler and full central heating. There is double glazing thoughout and the roof space is fully insulated. Fibre broadband is connected. There is a working security alarm.
Within the communal garden there is a locked gate (padlock code available to residents only) allowing access to the river for canoeing, paddle-boarding, fishing or even wild swimming. A canoe storage area is available at the far end of the garden.
There is an annual service charge (currently £303.40) for maintenance of the gardens and other communal projects.
