City Properties

A characterful period property which has been thoughtfully renovated and carefully improved, both on the inside and outside and which now presents as an enviably polished home or a discerning investment opportunity on the near fringe of the city centre. The property enters into a welcoming lounge which readily reflects an ongoing theme of contemporary improvements, set alongside a wealth of period features. The dining room opens to the enclosed rear garden and a modern galley style kitchen, which beyond leads to a walk-in shower room. To the first floor two double bedrooms, one with a dressing room, completes the accommodation.

Set within the capital city’s historic Cathedral Quarter and along the picturesque banks of the meandering River Wensum, the once fortified Bishopgate served as a significant part of the city’s walled defences as a gateway through which to enter the then second largest city in the land; playing host and giving passage to Kings and Queens, succumbing to a storming rebellion march upon the city and even bore witness to heretics being led across the tolled bridge to be burned at the stake. Beyond the properties nostalgic appeal life at Bishopgate is further complemented by its advantageous proximity within a city replete with amenities; a stroll of half a mile along the waters edge or through the tranquil Cathedral grounds will find you at either the county’s field of dreams at Carrow Road or the heart of the county’s capital city centre.
