Nestled in the heart of the renowned Norwich Lanes, 72 St Benedict's Street stands out as a distinctive and quirky flat, offering a unique accommodation experience. Located just a stone's throw away from the Norwich Art Centre (one of the city's premier venues), the property provides an ideal base for those looking to immerse themselves in Norwich's vibrant cultural scene.

Spanning four floors, this charming property accommodates up to 2 guests, providing an intimate and cosy setting. Originally on the brink of dereliction, No72 has undergone a comprehensive renovation, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary amenities. The dining room, adorned with its original parquet floor meticulously restored to its former glory, serves as a delightful space for entertaining. On sunlit days, occupants can bask in the warmth of the window seat, observing the ebb and flow of life on the bustling streets below. The fully fitted kitchen ensures that guests have all the essentials for self-catering, although the allure of St Benedict's Street, home to some of Norwich's finest dining establishments, beckons those eager to explore the local food and drink scene.
The Space:
The kitchen is all new and equipped with a handy fridge-freezer, a microwave/combi oven, and an induction hob—basically, everything you'd need for self-catering convenience.
On the ground floor, you'll find a practical small cloakroom with a basin and a washing machine. Now, brace yourself for the slightly tricky original staircase (not recommended for those with mobility issues), leading up to the living room. Here, original Georgian windows frame a view of St Margaret’s, one of Norwich’s many churches. Enjoy the buzz of the street from the window seats or get cozy on the sofas with blankets in the evening, tuning into the 50” TV or your favorite tunes via the Bluetooth speaker.
Climbing another set of twisty stairs takes you to the comfortable master bedroom, featuring paneled walls, a king-sized bed, a dressing area, and an additional TV. Right next door, the newly renovated shower room boasts a spacious walk-in shower, toilet, and sink.
Venture upstairs again, and you'll find a laid-back space with two day beds—perfect for reading or chilling with some music. The attic space offers views of Norwich's rooftops, but watch your head; it's a bit snug up there.
The Neighborhood:
St Benedict's Street is a lively tapestry of eclectic experiences in the heart of Norwich. Here, cultural enthusiasts can revel in the artistic vibes of the Norwich Arts Centre, conveniently located alongside the Tipsy Vegan restaurant, creating a dynamic juxtaposition of creativity and culinary delights.
