3 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Orion Drive, Norwich, NR5

Set on the Hampden View development in Costessey, to the west of Norwich, this is one of those modern homes that feels noticeably more spacious than you first expect, helped by the way the accommodation has been arranged across three floors.

From the moment you step inside, there’s a clean, calm feel throughout. White walls, contrasting black skirting and architraves, and plenty of natural light give the house a sharper, more contemporary look without it feeling cold or overly styled.

The entrance hall itself is wider than many modern homes, with stairs rising to the left and useful storage tucked beneath. To the right sits the kitchen, finished in a modern style with space for all the essential appliances, while a dining nook has been neatly tucked into the corner, comfortably seating four without dominating the room. Between the kitchen at the front and the lounge at the rear, there’s also a downstairs cloakroom positioned off the hallway.

The lounge stretches across the back of the house, with French doors and full-height glazed side panels allowing the light to pour in throughout the day. It’s a really comfortable room, and because it opens directly onto the garden, it works equally well for quieter evenings or having people over in the warmer months.

The first floor gives you a generous double bedroom overlooking the rear garden, along with a well-sized single bedroom to the front that would work equally well as a nursery or home office. Between them sits the family bathroom.

Then the house changes character slightly as you head up to the top floor. The principal bedroom has much more of a loft-style feel than a standard modern bedroom, with vaulted ceilings adding real height and character to the space. Combined with the eaves storage and en suite shower room with double shower cubicle, it feels like a proper retreat away from the rest of the house.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed to be easy to enjoy rather than hard work, with artificial lawn, two separate seating areas and a fully enclosed layout that catches the sun particularly well. The garage also benefits from a personal door directly into the garden, which makes everyday practicality much easier.

To the front, there’s tandem driveway parking for two vehicles leading to the garage, alongside a small garden area softening the frontage.

Location-wise, Hampden View remains popular with buyers needing straightforward access towards the A47, A11 and Norwich itself, making it particularly practical for commuters heading towards Cambridge or London, while still offering nearby schools, amenities and green space.

Overall, this feels like a really versatile modern home. The layout gives you a lot more flexibility than many three bedroom houses, and the top floor principal suite gives it a completely different feel to the standard new-build setup.
