A stylish two-bed Victorian terrace on a quiet street near Norwich's Golden Triangle. Two king bedrooms, one with ensuite, a log burner for winter and a secure garden for summer. Pet friendly, with free on-street parking.
A small front courtyard filled with lavender greets you before you reach the door. In summer it smells wonderful.
Inside, the lounge is the heart of the house. A log burner takes centre stage, perfect for drawing the curtains and settling in on a winter evening. Comfortable, stylish seating and a 43-inch smart TV. Log into your own accounts, or watch live telly through Freely, which streams all the usual Freeview channels over the internet.
WiFi runs at a rapid 264 Mbps. Plenty for everyone streaming at once, and more than enough for video calls if you're working from here. Jenga and playing cards live in the lounge too, with more games arriving through 2026.
The kitchen is bright and sociable, with a dining table for four at its centre, so someone can keep the cook company. A stylish Smeg fridge freezer, cooker with electric hob, microwave, kettle and toaster. A Nespresso pod machine covers your morning coffee, and we provide tea, coffee, sugar and UHT milk for your arrival, so the first brew is sorted before you've unpacked.
Beyond the kitchen, a small porch leads three ways. To the downstairs bathroom with its bath and overhead shower. To a handy storage cupboard. And out to the patio and shingled garden with outside seating. The garden is fully secure, with a bolted gate to a lockable shared alley.
Before you head up, a word on the stairs. They're original Victorian, so steeper than modern ones. There's a handrail, but the layout means a stair gate can't be fitted, which is why we don't recommend this home for children under 12.
Upstairs, both bedrooms sit over an arch, making them larger than you'd expect from a terraced home. Both rooms:
The front bedroom has side tables and lamps, fitted drawers, and a dressing table with mirror that doubles as a desk. The back bedroom has side lamps, a large dressing mirror, and its own ensuite shower room with walk-in shower, sink and toilet.
All linen and towels are provided, hotel quality throughout.
The local area
You're tucked well away from main roads, so there's barely any passing traffic. It's the kind of street where you can hear yourself think, yet you're 15 to 20 minutes on foot from the heart of Norwich.
The very local stuff is the real treat. Three minutes' walk brings you to a chip shop on Stafford Road that regulars will tell you is one of the best in Norwich, and we wouldn't argue. For a pint, the Alexandra Tavern on Stafford Street is a proper traditional local under 5 minutes away, and the Black Horse on Earlham Road is on your doorstep for some of the best food locally. Beer lovers should make the 8 to 10 minute walk to the Fat Cat on Nelson Street, regularly named among the best pubs in the country, and it lives up to it.
Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral, the Lanes and the market are all within easy walking distance, along with more independent cafés and restaurants than you'll fit into one stay. For more of our favourite local spots, have a look at the Ginger & Gold Blog.
Getting around
Norwich railway station is around 1.5 miles away, a 25 to 30 minute walk or a short taxi or bus ride if you're arriving with luggage. If you're driving, St Andrews car park is a good option when heading into the city, and there's 2 hours free parking outside Home Bargains on Westwick Street, handy for a quick shop or drop-off. Prefer two wheels? Beryl hire bikes are available at points close to the house.
