Church Road, Yelverton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

EXCEPTIONAL PENTHOUSE GARDEN APARTMENT, LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION WITH FAR REACHING VIEWS, FORMING PART OF AN 18TH CENTURY PERIOD CONVERSION.

An exceptional penthouse garden apartment offering approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of luxurious accommodation, boasting far-reaching views and forming part of a truly striking 18th-century period conversion.

Originally constructed in the 1700s as a historic parsonage, this magnificent building historically served as the parish rectory for the Church of St. Mary in Yelverton. Long after transitioning from church ownership, the building was thoughtfully subdivided and meticulously restored into an exclusive collection of high-end private homes. Occupying the entire upper level with just two neighbouring residences below, this penthouse immediately sets itself apart.

A welcoming reception hall—generous enough to double as a comfortable home office with an exposed brick curved archway. At the heart of the home is a remarkable open-plan reception and dining space, where dramatic vaulted ceilings and exposed timber trusses create a powerful architectural statement. Large, classic sash windows flood the room with natural light, while the expansive layout allows for a seamless, sociable flow between the sitting area and the adjoining kitchen.

The high-end kitchen is beautifully appointed with premium Shaker-style cabinetry, rich oak worktops, and fully integrated appliances. A central island features elegant quartz worktops and under-counter seating, making it a natural hub for entertaining. A striking feature exposed-brick fireplace with dual openings connects the kitchen to an inviting living room, which benefits from dual-aspect views and an abundance of character.

The accommodation includes two principal double bedrooms. The master bedroom features extensive fitted wardrobes, while bedroom two enjoys a dedicated walk-in wardrobe complete with fitted rails and drawers. Completing the living quarters is a highly characterful third bedroom or study, perfectly nestled within the building's distinctive turret.

The properties' bathrooms are finished to an exceptional standard. Off the landing sits an impressive four-piece family bathroom, crowned by a large roof lantern that showers the space in natural light. This luxurious room features a classic roll-top bath, a large walk-in shower cubicle with a rainfall shower head, and a striking vanity unit topped with a premium stone surface. A separate, beautifully finished shower room provides excellent additional convenience.
Character and energy efficiency often don’t go hand in hand, however due to being converted in recent years, it has good levels of wall and roof insulation, as well as the property below projecting heat upwards.

Externally, the property enjoys access to a generous communal garden, predominantly laid to lawn. For those seeking personal outdoor space, there is fantastic potential for a private, designated garden area, as the freeholder is willing to subdivide the grounds between the three apartments that share it. The apartment further benefits from allocated off-road parking spaces and useful external storage, adding excellent everyday practicality.

Positioned within a highly sought-after village location, the property offers the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity and city accessibility. It enjoys excellent access to the A146 and the nearby, well-equipped village of Poringland, while the historic city of Norwich and its mainline train station are just six miles away.
