King Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1

A fine flat in A Fine City – and a rare opportunity to own one of Norwich's most distinctive homes. With its prime city-centre location set behind private gates on historic King Street, this exceptional top-floor apartment occupies one of the city's most architecturally significant 17th-century buildings, offering a rare blend of remarkable period character and comfortable modern living.

Offered to the market for the first time in 12 years, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.

Accessed via a secure private gated courtyard, the apartment occupies the top floor and has been transformed into a beautifully considered home that balances original character with high-quality modern finishes. It is offered with no onward chain.

Despite its prime city-centre location, the apartment enjoys an unexpectedly peaceful setting behind private gates - a rare combination in the heart of Norwich.

A welcoming entrance hall with access to all principal rooms. Above, a loft space provides the kind of additional storage that city centre apartments rarely offer.

At nearly 20 feet at its longest point, the sitting and dining room is far larger than you’d expect for a one-bedroom city-centre flat. Original timber beams cross the ceiling. A striking full-height exposed brick chimney breast is a beautiful focal feature. Light pours in from a pair of windows framing rooftop views across Norwich's skyline, with the spire of Norwich Cathedral rising above it all. There is ample space here for a generous sitting area and a dining table, and still the space breathes.

Quite simply one of the most characterful kitchens you will find in Norwich city centre. Fitted with cream shaker units, brushed brass hardware and classic cream metro tiles, the kitchen is both stylish and practical. A breakfast bar with stool seating adds a sociable touch, and a large storage cupboard provides excellent everyday utility. The kitchen’s defining feature is its original inglenook fireplace - currently styled as a wine store and glass display.

The bedroom is well proportioned with original beam detailing and large windows looking out across the rooftops. Bright, calm, and entirely unoverlooked, it is a proper retreat at the top of a building with the whole of Norwich on its doorstep.

The stylish bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower, floor-to-ceiling metro tiling, a vanity unit with Carrara marble worktop, and heated towel rail. Finished with the timeless feel of a boutique hotel bathroom.

The property comes with one private parking space within the secure gated courtyard. Residents are additionally entitled to apply for city centre permit parking passes, covering both visitor and resident requirements - making this an exceptionally practical city-centre home

The shared courtyard patio space is a charming spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine on a sunny day.

The service charge is particularly competitive for a city-centre apartment of this type.

With its unique combination of history, privacy, parking and city-centre convenience, this apartment offers something genuinely difficult to find. Offered to the market for the first time in 12 years, this is an opportunity that has been worth waiting for.

The property is offered leasehold with approximately 84 years remaining. The current owner has established direct contact with the freeholder, who has confirmed a cooperative and straightforward approach to extension at market rate. Full details are available on request.
