About
Guide Price £280,000 - £300,000. Step into a home that perfectly balances comfort, space, and potential on a generous corner plot in south Norwich.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a hub of the home, ideal for relaxed mornings or casual meals.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious and versatile, offering flexibility for a growing family or home office needs.
Outside, the private garden and patio provide a wonderful space to unwind, while the large garden house adds flexible space for hobbies, a home office, or summer gatherings.

Every detail, from double glazing to contemporary finishes, contributes to a home that is ready to enjoy from day one.
The Location Positioned in Old Lakenham, Sandy Lane benefits from a location that mixes residential calm with genuinely practical access to amenities.
For everyday essentials, the Harford Bridge / Hall Road retail area is close by and provides a wide range of useful amenities.
There’s a large Tesco superstore within easy reach, along with an Asda a short drive away, meaning residents have multiple supermarket options without needing to head into the city centre.
The recently opened ikea at Hall Road Retail Park adds a significant convenience for furniture, homeware and general household shopping, alongside a number of other major retailers in the same area.
Leisure and entertainment are also well covered. The Riverside complex is not far away, offering dining, shops, a cinema, gyms and general entertainment options.
Norwich Train Station sits on the edge of that same district, giving straightforward rail access for commuting or travelling further afield.
The city centre itself is only a short drive from Sandy Lane, so reaching the Lanes, the market, restaurants, bars, cultural venues and historic streets is quick and easy.
Travel connections are another positive: The nearby A47 gives a simple route across Norfolk and links onto wider trunk roads, while being on the south side of Norwich makes getting in and out of the city less stressful than from some of the busier northern districts.
Overall, Sandy Lane sits in an area that combines community feel with a surprising amount of convenience, practical retail options, strong travel links, close access to the city, and plenty of leisure opportunities, all without sacrificing the quieter, residential atmosphere Old Lakenham is known for.
