A rare opportunity to acquire this most exquisite cottage on Bracondale. This is a charming unlisted semi-detached property was constructed in 1656 and is located at the bottom of Bracondale across from Carrow Abbey. The accommodation is deceptively spacious with an abundance of character. The cottage is just 10 minutes' walk away from the city centre and the railway station. The City Football Club at Carrow Road and County Hall are less than 5 minutes' walk away.

A step leads up to the rear reception room with french doors to the rear garden. There is also a concealed door to the kitchen.

The principal bedroom is to the front and has a wardrobe. The shower room is well-presented and has been recently upgraded by the current vendor. Stairs from the landing continue to the second floor with a double bedroom enjoying views over the garden to the rear and under-eaves storage.

Externally there is a delightful landscaped garden with steps up to a lawn area edged by raised beds. There is a former privy now providing storage and a door to a covered side passageway ideal for storing bicycles.  

NORWICH This ancient city has been home to writers, radicals and fiercely independent spirits for over a thousand years, and today continues in its legacy as an enclave of culture and creativity. Its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies.

Named as one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK's most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant's houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, you'll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.
To the west of the city the University of East Anglia is a remarkable example of brutalist architecture, and the campus is also home to the Sainsbury centre, a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art, gifted by the Sainsbury family.

Property types in Norwich are incredibly diverse, from city-centre Victorian properties, converted mills and barns, townhouses and luxury new-builds. Central to the city, Newmarket Road is noted for its selection of grand houses, and the 'Golden Triangle' neighbourhood is a favourite with families. There is also an array of beautiful rural villages within a short drive, notably Stoke Holy Cross to the south, Surlingham to the east, or Bawburgh to the west, where larger rural properties and small estates are often brought to market.

When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.

This is a city that reveals itself the longer you stay - a city to fall in love with - a city to be a part of.
