A compact Victorian mid-terrace with genuine period charm and no onward chain — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character close to Norwich city centre. The sitting room is a standout: an original stained-glass panel throws colourful light across a room framed by sash windows, an ornate fireplace with wooden mantle, and recessed shelving. The layout flows from sitting room to dining area and into a compact, highly functional kitchen with useful shelving and storage.
Upstairs offers three bedrooms plus a versatile adjoining room suited to an office, nursery or walk-in wardrobe. A ground-floor three-piece bathroom serves the house. Outside, a rare non-bisected, south-facing courtyard is low-maintenance and private. Practical extras include freehold tenure, fast broadband in the area, cheap council tax and a low annual alleyway parking charge (£33/year) for rear access.
Be upfront about the work required: the house is small (approx. 680 sq ft) and built 1900–1929 with assumed solid brick walls and no known insulation upgrades. The property will suit buyers prepared to modernise cosmetic elements and improve thermal performance; the EPC is E and double glazing install date is unknown. The neighbourhood is mixed and classified as a cosmopolitan student area with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators — weigh location benefits against these factors.
If you prioritise period detail, proximity to shops, parks and transport, and a chain-free purchase to move in or refurbish, this home offers strong potential. It’s best suited to first-time buyers or purchasers who value character and are comfortable planning modest updates to heating, insulation and décor.
