You'll find this couple's retreat tucked away in the heart of Norwich. It's five minutes on foot from Norwich Market, ten from Riverside Walk, and fifteen from the Cathedral – safe to say, exploring on foot is a breeze. Grade II listed and accessed by steep stairs, it's full of characterful little touches. There's more than enough space for two to decompress in the living space, while the upstairs bedroom is cosy as can be. Factor in the terrace, perfect for alfresco coffees and cocktails, and we think you've got a winner.
