Sowerbys are delighted to offer this prestigious Victorian town house, prominently positioned on Norwich Road and within walking distance of the town centre. With a cream rendered façade with double bays, under a hipped slate roof, the property enjoys the kind of striking appearance from the road which is synonymous with the period. Dating back to 1882, the wealth of character continues within the well-proportioned accommodation; with impressive high ceilings and fireplaces throughout. The beautifully presented interior briefly comprises reception hall, two front reception rooms, a formal dining room, a fourth ground floor reception room (listed as the music room), a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, laundry and boot room on the ground floor. From the elegant split-level landing on the first floor, there are doors to five bedrooms and the spacious family bathroom. The master bedroom, which overlooks the rear garden, also enjoys the luxury of an en-suite and dressing room.

The Coach House provides excellent accommodation for commercial use or to generate an income for a holiday let or rental accommodation.
