The Norwich housing market is undergoing a housing boom, with detached properties achieving an average of £425,356. Savvy buyers are finding that retreating to the suburbs can unlock savings – moving just 10 minutes out of the city centre can save buyers in Norwich over £150,000.
Annington’s refurbished homes on and around Archer Close in Sprowston are testament to this, with two and three-bedroom detached homes having recently entered the market from £270,000.
Once used to house serving Armed Forces personnel, the homes now offer a rare opportunity to purchase in an attractive residential neighbourhood just northeast of the city. Each home includes a private garage and are surrounded by plenty of green space, all have been brought up to an EPC C rating with brand new combi-boilers and loft insulation, as well as having new flooring throughout. Some of the two bedroom properties also have brand new kitchens.
Kerry Blue, Branch Manager at Abbotts, the selling agent for the homes, commented: “Sprowston is quickly becoming a desirable area for young people and families, especially local buyers that are fast becoming priced out of Norwich city centre. The homes offer a great balance between a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and a lively, family friendly local community, all at an attractive price. Annington’s allows buyers to feel instantly at home from the moment they step through the front door.”
Louise Saunders, Annington’s Head of Sales and Marketing, commented: “Community is at the heart of Annington’s ethos. These newly transformed homes bring a refreshed spirit to a well-established and friendly neighbourhood and are rarely available so we encourage buyers to contact the agent to book a viewing.”
Sprowston is a close-knit community, with a range amenities on the doorstep. Convenience supermarkets Co-Op and Aldi are just two miles away, while Norwich city centre is within a 10-minute drive, offering residents access to retail shopping, food, arts and culture.
For young families, a children’s play park and cricket pitch are just a 10-minute walk from Archer Close, while Sprowston Youth Club is held in nearby St Cuthbert’s Church. Local schools include Sprowston Community Academy and Sprowston Junior School, both rated ‘good’ by Ofsted.
