Set within one of suburban Norwich’s most prestigious and tightly held locations, this remarkable five bedroom detached residence on Softley Drive offers a rare opportunity to acquire what feels like an entirely brand new home in the very heart of Cringleford. Renowned for its exclusivity, peaceful surroundings and exceptional convenience, Softley Drive has long been considered one of the area’s most desirable addresses, placing you within easy reach of the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, Norwich Research Park, UEA, highly regarded schooling and excellent road links including the A11 and southern bypass.<br/><br/>Originally a modest two bedroom chalet, the current owners have undertaken a complete transformation with no expense spared. Not a stone has been left unturned in creating a home that now stretches to over 2,300 sq. ft. and delivers everything modern family living demands. Every room has been thoughtfully designed and finished to an exceptional standard, resulting in a home that combines impressive proportions with sleek contemporary styling throughout.<br/><br/>The sense of quality is immediate from the moment you arrive. The striking exterior and generous frontage create an impressive first impression, while the sizeable driveway provides ample off-road parking. Step inside and the welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, showcasing the herringbone flooring and stylish finishes that continue throughout much of the ground floor.<br/><br/>The accommodation has been designed around modern family life and entertaining. The stunning 32ft kitchen/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home and a space that is sure to stop visitors in their tracks. Contemporary in design and centred around a substantial island, this exceptional room offers an abundance of workspace, integrated appliances and extensive storage. The room seamlessly opens into a superb dining and entertaining area where bi-fold doors frame the garden and flood the space with natural light, creating a true inside-out lifestyle feel.<br/><br/>Complementing this spectacular space is the sizeable 22ft living room, a room equally impressive in scale and style featuring contemporary detailing and a striking media/fireplace feature creating a wonderful focal point. A separate dining room offers further versatility for entertaining or formal occasions, while the dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home setup. Practicality has not been overlooked either with a utility room, boot room, cloakroom and additional storage spaces all adding to the effortless flow of the home.<br/><br/>The first floor continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom is an outstanding retreat complete with a luxurious en-suite shower room, while a second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are all generous sizes and are served by a beautifully finished contemporary family bathroom.<br/><br/>Outside, the rear garden perfectly complements the home itself. Exceptionally private and enclosed by mature planting and established greenery, the garden enjoys a secluded feel rarely found. The extensive patio area creates the ideal setting for summer entertaining, family gatherings or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.<br/><br/>Homes on Softley Drive rarely become available and opportunities to acquire one which has been transformed to this extent are even more uncommon. This is a home where every detail has already been considered, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy one of Cringleford’s most exclusive lifestyle settings.<br/><br/>Tenure - Freehold<br/>Council Tax Band - G<br/>Local Authority - South Norfolk Council<br/>We have been advised that the property is connected to mains water, electricity and gas<br/><br/>Winkworth wishes to inform prospective buyers and tenants that these particulars are a guide and act as information only.
