Fondly referred to as the City of Stories, Norwich doesn’t like to do things by the book. And if the buildings here could talk, you’d certainly hear a tale or two. You’ll find almost every type of architectural style – from the modernist Norman-Foster designed Sainsburys Centre, to the Art Deco city hall, the medieval castle and Brutalist angles over at the University of East Anglia – but this charming home in a period property keeps things simple. Set in the hip Golden Triangle area, less than a fifteen-minute walk into the city centre, the space has been designed by someone with a keen eye. Antique and modern furniture sit together seamlessly in the welcoming living room – we love the oversized driftwood mirror hanging above the tiled, original fireplace – and the vintage Cinzano adds a touch of whimsy next to the stoic, 19th-century-style portrait. Both bedrooms are a calming space, thanks to minimalist styling and supremely comfortable beds. It’s a home where you’ll create plenty of your own stories on an adventure in this historic city.

About Norwich
Whether you’re exploring the Norman-era Norwich Castle, gazing up at the soaring arches of the eleventh-century Norwich Cathedral, or admiring the Tudor buildings along Elm Hill, Norwich’s prosperous past is easy to see.
