About this home

HOUSE Believed to date from circa 1790, this elegant Georgian-style villa offers approximately 3,580 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. Combining period charm with versatile living space, the property retains many character features synonymous with its era, including high ceilings, large sash-style windows and well-balanced room proportions, all contributing to a wonderful sense of light and space throughout. The accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance hall which provides access to the principal reception rooms. A superb dual-aspect reception room enjoys an abundance of natural light, whilst the spacious kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home and is perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining. A separate formal dining room provides further reception space, complemented by a ground floor WC and access to the cellar. To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and private balcony overlooking the rear gardens, enjoying elevated views towards the city beyond. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, whilst an additional first-floor sitting room offers flexible accommodation ideal as a family room, home office or further reception space. The second floor comprises a further generous bedroom and family bathroom, creating an ideal guest suite or private retreat. A second balcony provides an attractive vantage point from which to enjoy views across the mature grounds and Norwich skyline. Throughout, the property successfully blends the elegance and character of a late Georgian home with the practicality required for modern living. The combination of substantial accommodation, period features, elevated balconies and far-reaching city views creates a truly unique residence in an exceptionally private yet highly convenient setting. OUTSIDE Set well back from the road and approached via a private access, the property occupies an enviable elevated position within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately one-third of an acre (stms). The setting offers a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion, with the house nestled amongst mature trees and established planting, creating a peaceful environment that feels far removed from the surrounding city despite its highly convenient location. A particular feature of the property is the extensive provision of secure off-road parking, with ample space for multiple vehicles, making it ideal for family living, visiting guests or those requiring additional parking capacity. The approach and grounds immediately convey a sense of arrival, with the property enjoying a commanding position within its plot. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a balance of open lawn, mature planting and attractive outdoor spaces. To the rear, a generous terrace spans the property and provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Elevated above the main lawn, it enjoys attractive views across the gardens and offers a wonderful place from which to appreciate the surrounding greenery and changing seasons. Beyond the terrace, the lawned gardens extend away from the house and are framed by a variety of mature trees, shrubs and established borders, creating a picturesque and private backdrop. The grounds offer excellent space for recreation, gardening and family enjoyment, whilst retaining a strong sense of tranquillity throughout. Despite the property's tucked-away position, a pedestrian pathway provides direct access down to Carrow Road, allowing convenient access to nearby amenities, Norwich Railway Station, Riverside and the city centre. The combination of substantial grounds, secure parking, mature landscaping and exceptional privacy makes the outside space a standout feature of this unique home. LOCATION Nestled discreetly behind Ice House Lane and Carrow Road, this unique property enjoys a wonderfully private position, hidden from passing traffic and offering a sense of seclusion that is rarely found so close to the heart of Norwich. Combining the benefits of a tucked-away setting with exceptional convenience, the location is ideally suited to those seeking easy access to the city's extensive amenities without compromising on privacy. Norwich city centre is within easy reach and offers an outstanding selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and cultural attractions. Residents can enjoy everything from independent boutiques and historic landmarks to major retail brands, making the city one of the most vibrant and desirable places to live in East Anglia. The nearby Riverside development provides a wide range of leisure facilities including restaurants, a cinema, fitness facilities and riverside walks, creating an excellent lifestyle offering just moments from the property. For commuters and those travelling further afield, Norwich Railway Station is conveniently close by, providing regular direct services to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and other destinations. The property's proximity to the station makes it particularly attractive for professionals requiring easy rail connections whilst enjoying the benefits of city living. John Lewis is also within easy reach, together with a variety of supermarkets, convenience stores and everyday amenities. Excellent road links provide access to the wider Norfolk area, the Norfolk Broads and the county's coastline. Despite being so well connected, the property remains quietly positioned and largely hidden from view, creating a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city. Further enhancing its appeal is the provision of off-road parking, a valuable advantage in such a central Norwich location. Altogether, this is a superb setting that successfully combines privacy, convenience and accessibility.
