Bracondale leads down the valley formed by the rivers Wensum and Yare, with this property standing just above the brow of the hill. By the 18th century Bracondale had become a desirable residential location, and a number of properties were built for the wealthy in the first half of the 19th century and these particular houses were built for senior executives of Colman Mustard . Bracondale has remained fashionable, with its wide and partly tree-lined street, and its character is now recognised by its status as a Conservation Area.

The property has been recently decorated throughout the inside and outside and is in excellent condition, with high quality white goods throughout. Large wardrobes can be left if preferred,as well as high quality wall mounted 46 inch HD TV, but can also be removed if preferred.

The property stands outside the city walls, but not far from some of the best medieval areas of Norwich, including the well-known Dragon Hall originally built as a merchant’s house. There is no need to drive to the City Centre and if Premiership football is of interest then a downhill walk would bring you to the Carrow Road ground.

Norwich is rightly famous for its arts and culture with a vibrant nightlife including nightclubs, cinemas and theatres. Around the city centre are a wealth of historic and nationally important buildings, from the majestic Norman cathedral and its magnificent counterpart of the castle, flint and timber-framed architecture exhibiting one of the best preserved medieval street patterns in Britain. Norwich offers a rare blend of history and modern outlook, the ancient Guildhall with the imposing adjacent City Hall are complimented by the nearby modern Forum, containing the Millennium Library, galleries and tourist information.

There are plenty of places to eat out or socialise; pubs, cafés, bistro- and coffee bars, and fine restaurants are in abundance and as a retailing centre of national standing, the shopping in Norwich is about as good as it gets. With two shopping malls, a famous open market and retailing ranging from major stores to specialist shopping and local retailers, there is not much you cannot buy, or just pass time window shopping or admiring the view in The Lanes and Cathedral Quarter are just outside the City Centre.

The mainline railway station at Norwich provides excellent high speed links to Cambridge and to London with an approximate journey time of 1hr 50 to Liverpool Street Station. Norwich International Airport on the north side of the City has daily flights to both continental Europe and internal destinations and Stansted Airport is an hours drive.
