Property description & features

  • Idyllic Grade II Listed Home
  • Exclusive and Sought-After Setting
  • Prime Location in the Heart of the City
  • Two Generous Double Bedrooms
  • Immaculately Presented Throughout
  • Elegant Period Features
  • Off-Road Parking
  • Large Garage
  • South-Facing Courtyard Garden
Nestled within the exclusive and highly sought-after leafy enclave of The Crescent, this fine example of an historic Georgian terrace home has been thoughtfully refurbished throughout by the current architect-owner. It now offers an extraordinary blend of refined, practical and light-filled accommodation alongside a wealth of splendid original features including sash windows, box shutters and ornate ceiling cornices.

Dating back to 1821, The Crescent is a collection of fine Georgian homes showcasing the very best of the architectural era and creating the framework for a unique setting enjoying its own thriving and supportive community within the city.

A stroll past the communal green and mature trees reveals the inviting front garden leading to Crescent Cottage.

The welcoming hallway is flanked by two striking rooms. The sitting room has opulent Georgian proportions bathed in reams of natural light via the large sash window dressed with functioning box shutters. A further reception room on the other side is a versatile and highly functional space including a central family room/formal dining room, currently serving as a reading room/study with direct access to a private courtyard garden.

Beyond this, the open plan kitchen/breakfast room provides a sociable hub for entertaining.

The ground floor is completed by the well-equipped utility/boot room, an inner hallway with a wealth of storage and a guest WC.

The first floor is home to the two excellent bedrooms. A principal suite enjoys every bit as much volume and light as the downstairs receptions and alongside it is a striking bank of bespoke cabinetry and a spacious shower room en-suite. The second bedroom is suitably large to provide yet more versatility, currently serving as a peaceful and productive home office. This bedroom is well-served by the neighbouring family bathroom.

Amongst the most noteworthy features of this home is the excellent provision of outdoor space and functionality for such a central location. The pristine communal green is complemented by the private rear south-facing courtyard which provides a sheltered and tranquil oasis to soak up the sunshine, and share private al-fresco dinners with friends and family.

A large garage is an excellent asset of this home offering space for covered and secure parking, with additional permit parking to the front, but also a wealth of secure storage - alongside a car - if desired.  

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.
