Maison Victorienne et Jardin

Occupying a prominent position on the ever-popular Bishop Bridge Road, this substantial period residence extends to approximately 2,170ft² of well-proportioned accommodation, arranged over three floors. Of the late late Victorian era, the property is thought to have historical links to Norwich’s former gas works serving as the residence of the Gas Works Manager, offering a fascinating connection to the city’s rich industrial heritage.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation, sympathetically enhancing the property whilst retaining many of its original character features. The vast majority of the refurbishment has already been completed, leaving purchasers with the exciting opportunity to finish the kitchen and bathrooms to their own individual taste and specification, creating a truly bespoke home without the need to undertake a full renovation from the outset.

Arranged over two floors, the accommodation offers a good degree of flexibility, making it equally suited to modern family living, multi-generational occupation, providing home-working space or creating 2 residences subject to planning permission.

The property retains a wealth of period charm, with feature fireplaces, high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms combining effortlessly with the improvements already carried out. The adaptable layout provides an abundance of reception and bedroom accommodation, allowing the home to evolve alongside its future owners’ needs. The grounds extend to about 0.18 acres.

Beyond its appeal as a substantial family residence, the property also presents an investment opportunity. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents, the generous layout could readily lend itself to a variety of alternative uses, including a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) with the potential for up to seven usable bedrooms, serviced accommodation, boutique guest accommodation, or other commercial and residential opportunities.

Properties offering this combination of size, character, history and opportunity are not often offered to the market.

Whether you’re searching for an elegant family home, a prestigious city residence, or an exciting investment opportunity, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
