The Story In Your Eyes

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.

Home truths:
*This home is on the first floor and set over two levels with stairs to navigate, so it might not be suitable for guests with young children or who have reduced mobility
*There is one designated parking spot, found at the rear of the home
