Luxury 17th century townhouse in Central Norwich close to eateries/bars/shopping

A hidden 18th century townhouse gem, out of sight and away from the noise, re-invented for modern city living with fabulous views over the city. Located on historic Elm Hill. This lovely three/four bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is set over three levels. With space to stretch out and private comfortable bedrooms the home is perfect for families, small groups and couples.

Beautiful courtyard garden, hand made kitchen and high quality furnishings throughout.

Situated in walking distance to a varied selection of cafes, restaurants, and bars in central Norwich as well as the theatre and St Andrews Hall.

Be one of the first to stay in this newly listed property The Friars House, after an extensive and high quality renovation, this townhouse is a beautiful spacious property with an abundance of traditional features & finishes with city views at every turn.

The Friars House is steeped in history and located in historic Elm Hill. Only a stones throw from restaurants, bars, cafes and shopping.

The space is the perfect pied-a-terre for a city break, open the front door and you are in Norwichs famous lanes, or if you want the best of both worlds there is easy access in less than an hours driving time to North Norfolk and the big skies, the broads and local attractions.

We have 4 bedrooms and sleep 6 plus one child.

At ground level, you’re welcomed by a spacious hallway with basement to the left with hanging space for coats and walking boots.

There are four beautiful bedrooms – bedroom 1 has a French antique king bed and en-suite with freestanding bath,

Bedroom 2 and 3 are also king beds with a shared shower room.

Bedroom 4 - This room is accessed via Bedroom 1 and so only lends itself to being a childs single room. We can set up this room with children toys and books or alternatively this space can be used as an office, but will have the single bed in situ.

Snuggle up in the living room area and get toasty in front of the fire after exploring Norwich or eating out or order in and enjoy the house. There’s a well-equipped kitchen with induction hob, dishwasher and dining table to seat six, with French patio doors leading to the courtyard garden, lit with festoons, comfortable seating, fire pit and bbq area. With seating for seven, you can sit out regardless of what the weather is doing once the fire is lit.

Stretch out on our comfy sofa, nestle into one of the armchairs or sink into the giant beanbag to watch a movie on the large screen TV.

Great Property, Excellent Location

This is a great old property, equipped to a high standard and located on historic Elm Hill which is a perfect base to explore Norwich. The welcome basket of , scones, jam & clotted cream, milk & a bottle of wine along with kitchen basics were a nice touch and much appreciated. The bedrooms were all a good size, well decorated and very comfortable. Although bedroom three on the top floor would benefit from a wardrobe or a small hanging rail. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we’ve stayed in, plenty of glasses, plates etc. The garden space was a sun trap and perfect for relaxing after a day’s sightseeing. Again we’ll equipped with sufficient seating and a fire pit! Parking nearby at the Monastery Court Car park was expensive if used overnight but useful for short time when dropping off luggage - plenty of cheaper parking in east walking distance. Would highly recommend for families or friends looking for a quality rental close to the centre.
