Norwich house with vacation rental and underground bunker for sale

The current owners of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom Kingsley House in Thorpe Road, which was built in 2005, haven’t spent long living in the house, and Matthew Lee of Minors and Brady – who markets the property – said he “needed a family to move in and give him some love.”

“The property is very open, especially in the living space,” he said.

“It also has very high ceilings throughout.

“It’s a beautiful property.

“You can pretty much see the football pitch from one of the bedroom windows, so it’s very close to the train station and the city center, which makes it very desirable.

“It’s an interesting property.

“The current owners use part of it like Airbnb.

“The rear garden is elevated, accessed from the second level, with a patio across.

“But starting from the ground floor there is a huge underground storage area – it’s built into a bank and it’s been dug out. It’s really strange.

“It’s packed with potential and uniquely designed.

“There’s underfloor heating everywhere, so it’s very comfortable. It doesn’t feel like you’re in an empty, massive house that’s freezing.

“For this reason it would make a fantastic family home. The current owners have never lived there properly so it needs a loving family to make a home of it.

“We’ve had a lot of interest from young families. It’s very spacious and there’s room for two living rooms.

“It’s hard to say what price it will sell for with the current market, but it is very popular.

“It’s very bright. You can walk into a property at this time of year and it can get very dark.

“If you fall in love with a property now, you’ll love it in the summer – and this is no exception.

“The windows are all facing the right direction, so it’s always bright – no matter what time of day or year.

“Overall a nice property.”
