Our agent's view

This four/five-bedroom bungalow offers so much flexibility - not to mention quite a dramatic living space! It s well positioned for Robert Kett Primary School and Wymondham High, as well as all the town centre amenities the area has to offer. But it would also be well-suited to those in later life, too. It might be a corner plot, which are typically a bit bigger, but it s very manageable in size and low maintenance. The fact that it s a bungalow will also appeal. Samuel Le Good I Partner
