3 bed terraced house for sale

Grove Road, Norwich NR1

Dating from around 1840 and set within a conservation area on the edge of the city centre, this characterful terrace has been thoughtfully reworked by its current owners. The original fireplaces and restored timber floors sit alongside a new kitchen, shower room and en-suite WC, with the electrics updated and five new radiators fitted. The ground floor is now open and sociable, there are three bedrooms on the first floor, and a loft room offers scope for conversion (subject to the necessary consents). A low-maintenance courtyard garden, a useful cellar and a few minutes' walk to the city's shops, cafés and station complete the picture.
