This substantial Georgian townhouse in NR3 combines period grandeur with a recently refreshed interior, making it an appealing choice for professionals, families or investors seeking a city-centre home with character. The property has been sympathetically restored to retain ornate cornicing, high ceilings and parquet flooring, while providing a generous kitchen/dining space and two well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over multiple floors.
The house sits a short stroll from Norwich’s restaurants, theatres and cultural amenities and benefits from the unusual city-centre advantage of private off-street parking in a brickweave courtyard. The bright shaker-style kitchen and elegant sitting room create excellent entertaining spaces, while the principal bedroom includes bespoke storage and a well-appointed family bathroom on the upper floor.
Buyers should note a number of material facts: the property is solid-brick construction with no built-in cavity insulation (assumed), fitted with secondary glazing rather than full double glazing, and currently rated EPC D. The plot is small with a courtyard-style garden rather than a larger rear garden. The immediate area is described as deprived with a very high local crime rating — important factors for purchasers to weigh alongside the home’s central location and period appeal.
Practical services are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas boiler with radiators, mains utilities and private parking. This house presents a rare mix of central convenience, period features and immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, but some buyers may wish to budget for insulation, glazing improvements and security measures to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
