Welcome to Surrey Street, Norwich - a location steeped in history and charm. This stunning Georgian Grade II Listed property, known as Bignold House, has undergone a remarkable transformation into 13 residential apartments, each offering a unique blend of modern living within a historic setting.

The grandeur of this local landmark building is truly captivating. Originally built in 1764 by the renowned architect Robert Mylne, with later additions by Sir Robert Soane, this property exudes elegance and character at every turn.

As you step into the grand entrance hall, you are greeted by decorative wooden panelling that tells the story of the Directors of the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society from 1797 to 1897 - a true nod to the rich heritage of this building.

The apartments, spread over four floors, offer a mix of studios, 1 and 2-bedroom units, with a townhouse located in a later extension to the main house. The townhouse, accessed via its own existing door to the front courtyard, provides accommodation over three floors, ensuring a sense of space and privacy.

The sensitive conversion of Bignold House has been thoughtfully carried out, with internal alterations and sub-divisions kept to a minimum to preserve the significance of this listed building. Norwich City Council has granted Listed Building consent, acknowledging that the conversion represents the best use of the building, ensuring its future upkeep.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Norwich. Whether you're looking for a studio, a 1-bedroom apartment, or a 2-bedroom unit, each residence offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Embrace the elegance of Georgian architecture and make Bignold House your new home.
