abbotFox Bespoke presents The Old Weaver's House on Norwich's most famous and picturesque street, Elm Hill.

The Property
Approached from the timeless cobbles of Elm Hill, The Old Weaver's House immediately feels wonderfully secluded. Once inside, the atmosphere is one of calm, where exposed oak beams, leaded windows and centuries old craftsmanship tell the story of one of Norwich's finest surviving Tudor homes.

The accommodation unfolds across three floors, each offering its own distinctive character and flexibility.

The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall together with a series of versatile rooms. Currently arranged as a home office and guest bedroom alongside a bathroom.

The first floor offers a more intimate setting, with a generous principal bedroom enjoying views towards the river, shower room and dressing room. A striking Tudor window floods the landing with natural light, creating one of the home's many memorable architectural moments.

Ascending to the second floor reveals the true centrepiece of the house. Once the original weaver's loft, this magnificent vaulted space has been transformed into an exceptional sitting room. Windows on three elevations frame panoramic views across Norwich's historic skyline, with landmarks including St Andrew's Hall, the River Wensum and the city's distinctive rooftops creating an ever changing backdrop throughout the day.

Although extensively restored around the turn of the millennium with updated heating, electrical systems and modern services, every improvement has been undertaken with respect for the building's remarkable heritage, allowing period character and contemporary comfort to coexist beautifully.

Outside, a charming courtyard garden provides a peaceful sun trap, surrounded by mature planting and unexpectedly rich wildlife. Despite being in the very centre of Norwich, squirrels, birds and the gentle flow of the River Wensum create an atmosphere more akin to a riverside village than a bustling cathedral city.

Lifestyle
The Old Weaver's House is perfectly suited to buyers seeking something genuinely individual. Whether hosting elegant dinner parties beneath centuries-old beams, working from home in inspiring surroundings, or simply enjoying peaceful mornings overlooking the River Wensum, the house offers a lifestyle rarely found within a city centre.

Its adaptable accommodation also provides flexibility for guests, creative professionals or those seeking multi-generational living, while remaining manageable as a lock up and leave city residence.

Location
Few addresses in Norwich are as instantly recognisable as Elm Hill. Rebuilt following the Great Fire of 1507, its cobbled streets, timber-framed buildings and independent boutiques have made it one of England's most celebrated historic streets.

Living here places the very best of Norwich within easy walking distance. Fine dining, independent cafés, theatres, galleries, Norwich Cathedral and the city's renowned retail centre are all moments away, while riverside walks begin almost on the doorstep. It is a location that perfectly balances cultural vibrancy with remarkable tranquillity.

Our Agent's View
"What makes this home truly exceptional is the balance it achieves. It offers the romance and authenticity of a genuine Tudor home, yet functions effortlessly for modern living. Combined with uninterrupted views across the River Wensum and one of Norwich's most prestigious historic addresses, it is a property that simply could not be recreated today." Samuel Le Good I Partner
