Rutland Street, Norwich, Norfolk

The Property

5 Rutland Street is substantial Victorian terraced house, located in the sought after Golden Triangle in Norwich.  The property has been transformed by a local architect into a contemporary and stylish four-bedroom home.  The comprehensive renovation has focused on using natural materials (solid wood, stone, glass, metal) as much as possible, in line with the owners eco-philosophy. 

The property demonstrates a thoughtful use of space, creating social spaces and plenty of storage, to facilitate comfortable modern living, with four double bedrooms (one en suite), an open plan living, kitchen, dining space, utility area, downstairs cloakroom, luxurious family bathroom and funky enclosed courtyard garden.

On entering the property you are welcomed into a generous entrance hall with stairs leading up.  The eye is drawn down the hallway, cleverly fitted with storage cupboards and a bench area towards the open plan living space to the rear.  Also accessed from the hallway is the downstairs bedroom, utility area (with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer) and the downstairs loo.  The engineered oak floor flows through from the hallway, downstairs loo and living space.

The open plan living space spans the rear of the house, with a modern fitted kitchen, space for a dining table and eight chairs and a recessed sitting room area with clever storage and space for a wall mounted television.  The room is flooded with natural light from three large windows and a glazed door leading to the courtyard garden beyond.

The kitchen features a range of wall and base units in grey with quartz worktops, sink with mixer tap and drainer and integrated appliances including, electric oven with induction hob and extractor over, dishwasher & fridge freezer.

The downstairs double bedroom is to the front of the house and also features clever fitted storage units.  This flexible room could easily become a further reception room / snug / home office, should it not be required as a bedroom.

Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.  The principal bedroom is to the rear of the house with two windows and a built in wardrobe.  The en suite shower room features a large shower enclosure with twin shower heads, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Bedrooms two and three are good sized doubles , both with fitted wardrobes and a window looking out to the front of the house.

The luxurious family bathroom has a freestanding bath, large shower enclosure with twin shower heads, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Outside

There is a private, enclosed courtyard garden to the rear.  Stylishly presented, like the rest of the property, with a patio area, perfect for al fresco dining, surrounded by black fencing with outside lights, so you can enjoy the warmer evenings outside.  There are steps down to a further patio area and brick built shed, a gate out to the shared parking area beyond and an EV charger for electric cars.

To the front is a further enclosed garden area, currently shingled with grey stone chips and decorated with planters and a short path leading from the gate to the front door.

There is a permit parking to the front of the house and a free parking area to the rear, shared with neighbouring properties on a first come, first served basis.
