Ipswich Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2

Listed 15 Oct 2026 · Norwich
There are few addresses in Norwich that combine such a prestigious setting with this level of considered, contemporary living. This property is an exceptional early nineteenth-century home, beautifully refurbished and reimagined across four floors, where period character and sophisticated modern design come together with effortless appeal. Behind its discreet façade, the house unfolds into wonderfully versatile accommodation, with elegant reception spaces complemented by a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room. Light floods in through bi-fold doors, creating a seamless connection with the private courtyard beyond, while an Aga forms the heart of this beautifully appointed space. A separate sitting room, living room, utility, pantry and cloakroom add both flexibility and practicality. The first floor provides three bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, while the principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor, accompanied by a dressing room and luxurious en-suite. The basement offers further versatility as an office or games room, with obvious potential for a cinema, gym or creative workspace. Outside, the property is equally impressive. Electric gates open to secure off-street parking for two vehicles, while the private courtyard garden enjoys a wonderfully rare south and west-facing aspect - a genuine suntrap and an exceptional amenity so close to the city centre. There is also a covered outdoor area and integral bike store. This is one of Norwich’s most desirable addresses, positioned on the brilliant side of the city where the best of the city centre is within easy reach, yet everyday life retains a distinctly neighbourhood feel. For those seeking a home of distinction, with space, style, privacy and an enviable city lifestyle, 11 Mount Pleasant is a particularly special proposition. It is a prestigious address, matched by a home of genuine quality and character. NORWICH Norwich, an ancient city steeped in a millennium of history, has long been a haven for writers, radicals, and independent thinkers, fostering a rich culture and creative spirit. Its meticulously preserved medieval streets host a thriving community of small businesses, a dynamic culinary scene, and a vibrant arts culture. As a gateway to a county renowned for its pristine landscapes, expansive skies, and untouched vistas, Norwich continues to inspire. Named one of the best places to live in 2026, Norwich sits approximately 20 miles from the coast where the River Yare and the River Wensum converge, the latter meandering through its heart. Once the second largest city in England during the 11th century, Norwich proudly retains its title as the UK’s most complete medieval city. Historic paths like Elm Hill beckon with Tudor architecture and quaint cafés leading to the majestic Norwich Cathedral, a testament to its thousand-year legacy. West of the city, the University of East Anglia stands as a striking example of brutalist architecture, housing the Sainsbury Centre for modern and ethnographic art. Norwich’s property landscape offers diversity, from Victorian city-centre dwellings and converted mills to town houses and contemporary luxury homes. The “Golden Triangle” is cherished among families, while nearby rural villages like Stoke Holy Cross, Surlingham, and Bawburgh offer larger estates and idyllic countryside living. With direct trains to London’s Liverpool Street in just 90 minutes and an airport connecting to UK cities and Amsterdam, Norwich blends historical charm with modern connectivity—a city that captivates and welcomes all who embrace its allure.
