A renovated Victorian family home with beautiful period features in the city centre has hit the market.
Dartford House on Newmarket Road in Norwich is for sale with Savills at a guide price of £1,295,000.
Polly Hughes, associate director in the residential sales team at Savills in Norwich, said: “Dartford House is a substantial Victorian home that has been stunningly renovated by the current owners. An adjoining studio has also been converted into a fantastic reception space. Currently used as a games room, it is ideal for entertaining.
“But what really makes the property stand out is the outside space. It’s rare to find somewhere this close to the city centre in such a private setting with such a large garden.”
Built circa 1891, the property is a substantial semi-detached house set back from the road and screened by mature trees.

The well-proportioned principle rooms retain many period features including good ceiling heights, fireplaces, beautiful original stained glass windows, architraves and door casements.
The ground floor accommodation has been re-configured to provide an open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room with doors leading out to the rear garden with sizeable terrace.
On the first floor, the main staircase has a striking stained glass window and leads to the attractive principal bedrooms. There is a second staircase that leads to the dressing room of bedroom five, which creates an ideal guest bedroom.
Outside, the house is initially approached over a right of way from the road. This leads to electric double gates and a wide gravelled parking and turning area for several vehicles. On the south side of the house, the drive extends via gates and leads on to further parking.

The gardens at the rear of the property provide a wonderful setting for this lovely home with a large terrace and an expanse of lawned garden.
At the far end of the garden, there is access to a rear loke which leads to Judges Walk. The mature boundaries of the gardens have established trees and hedges giving a great sense of privacy.
Dartford House is situated in one of Norwich’s most sought-after residential districts between the city centre and the suburbs of Eaton and Cringleford.
