Unthank Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4

An Edwardian detached house in a highly desirable area.

Description

This beautifully proportioned Edwardian residence, dating back to around 1910, showcases a wealth of period features blended seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres, the property exudes charm and style throughout.

The elegant entrance hall with stained glass windows sets the tone, leading into a bay-fronted living room with wood burner, a welcoming dual aspect dining room or study opening to the side courtyard, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/diner that flows into a large utility room. A light-filled garden room, complete with roof lantern and doors to the rear garden, offers the perfect space for relaxed living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor features a luxurious principal bedroom suite overlooking the back garden with a new en suite shower room and dressing room, alongside a second double bedroom served by a well appointed bathroom including a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The second floor offers two further bedrooms and a stylish shower room.

All bathrooms were installed in 2023 and interior designed throughout the home by Paula Gundry Interiors to an exceptional standard.

The home was also rewired and replumbed in 2023, and the windows sympathetically renovated and double glazed by specialist firm, Sash Window Renovations.

The south west facing rear garden enjoys uninterrupted sun in good weather and is well maintained into three distinct areas, mainly laid to lawn in the middle section and bordered with mature shrubs and flower beds to provide year round interest.

At the rear of the long garden is a new patio area surrounding a pergola covered in wisteria and jasmine, which provides summer shading for a seating area beside a small pond. An air-conditioned home gym studio with electricity supply and wifi was added in 2024 by Green Retreats, featuring bifold doors to open up the room. An insulated and heated room is part of the same construction and currently provides additional space for storage.

To the front of the property is a shingled driveway providing parking for several cars, while the side courtyard leads to a double garage used for storage (please note there is currently no vehicular access).
