Norwich home with holiday let and underground bunker on sale

The current owners of the four-bedroom and two-bathroom Kingsley House in Thorpe Road, which was built in 2005, have not spent time living in the home, and Matthew Lee of Minors and Brady - which is marketing the property - said it "needed a family to move in and give it some love."

"The property is very open-plan, especially in the living space," he said.

"It also boasts very high ceilings throughout.

"It's a beautiful property.

"You can just about see the football ground from one of the bedroom windows, so it's very close to the train station and city centre which makes it highly sought after.

"It's an interesting property.

"The current owners use part of it as an Airbnb. 

"The back garden is raised, accessed from the second level, with a decking straight across.

"But from the ground floor, there's a massive underground storage area - it's built into a bank and it's been dug into. It's really strange.

"It's bursting with potential and is uniquely designed.

"It's got underfloor heating throughout so it's very cosy. It doesn't feel like an empty and massive house that's freezing.

"For that reason, it would make a fantastic family home. The current owners have never lived in it properly so it needs a loving family to make it a home.

"We've had a lot of interest from people with young families. It's very spacious and it has the room for two living rooms.

"It's hard to tell what it will sell for with the current market, but it's very popular.

"It's very bright. You can go into a property at this time of year and it can be very dark. 

"If you fall in love with a property now, you're going to absolutely love it in the summer - and this is no exception.

"The windows are all facing in the right direction, so it's always bright - no matter the time of day or year.

"All in all it's a beautiful property."
