An elegant five-bedroom townhouse with Georgian and Victorian period features has come up for sale on Unthank Road.
Jesselton is a stunning south-facing period townhouse within Norwich's Golden Triangle, a coveted conservation area.
Selling agents Strutt & Parker say the 3,400 sq ft property “benefits from a wealth of architectural features typical of the Georgian and Victorian period including windows, doors, coving, cornice, ceiling roses and fireplaces, whilst also providing a range of adaptable, contemporary, light-filled spaces.”
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the entire home. Flanked by reception rooms on each side, the hall leads to a turned stairway, a rear hall with tiled flooring, and access to the cellar, butler's pantry and store cupboard.
The period charm is evident throughout, with ornate ceilings adorned with beautiful cornice and ceiling rose plasterwork, as well as tall, shuttered sash windows and elegant fireplaces.
The 24 ft dual-aspect drawing room is a highlight of the property, boasting a floor-to-ceiling fitted bookcase, a stone fireplace with a wood burner, and views of the south-facing gardens.
On the opposite side of the entrance hall, the sitting room features a marble fireplace, bespoke fitted cupboards, and French door windows leading to the enchanting gardens.
