3 bed flat for sale

Bracondale Millgate, Norwich NR1

Trowse House was originally built in the early 1700's as a family home, passing through various owners and uses before being converted into a small number of highly individual apartments in the 1950s.

Our sellers have enjoyed living here for over 20 years, during which time they have substantially renovated their home, including incorporating additional basement space from the main house to increase the overall living space by a quarter. You now have the rare opportunity to become one of the custodians of this incredible Grade II Listed home.

Flat 1 offers you a generous amount of accommodation arranged unusually over 4 half-floors, adding to the unique character and appeal. In addition to entering via the main steps into the communal entrance hall, where you will find your entrance door on the right, you also have private access doors into the kitchen from both the side and rear. Viewing is the only way you will really be able to appreciate the layout along with everything this home has to offer but let us start on the lower ground floor and work our way up.

Beautifully cool in the summer, and warm through the colder months, the very generous main bedroom has its own fireplace, complete with woodburning stove, and the window seat creates a lovely reading nook, catching the sun for the majority of the day. If that was not enough, there is also a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.

On this level, the lobby leads through a utility and pantry space plumbed for a washing machine, to a bathroom which has a Japanese style soaking tub, with shower over, as well as W.C and hand basin.

From the lobby, there are seven steps up to the ground floor kitchen/dining room; fitted units combine with free-standing pieces. The flooring is a mix of Norfolk pamments and flooring bricks, in keeping with the period character throughout the home. Here you also have a door out to the rear courtyard garden, and a second entrance door to the side which gives you stepless access to the car park.

Up half a level, and here you find your "front door"... Your main access from the communal entrance hall. There is a family bathroom on this level, along with our favourite; the spacious reception room complete with exposed floorboards, high ceilings, sash windows, library shelving, decorative cornice and stunning ceiling rose, as well as an ornate marble fireplace with inset stove. The light in this room is incredible.

The final half-flight of stairs takes you to the upper first floor and two more bedrooms, both doubles, although one is currently used as a home office...check out the unique oriel window.

Complementing the house, residents enjoy fabulous well-maintained communal gardens and parking areas, with a garage/workshop available for occasional use.

Living at Trowse House gives you the rare combination of country village life while being walking distance from the vibrant Norwich city centre.
