About this property
Best of both worlds with peace away from main roads and close enough to the city
Saunders Rest is a stylish and comfortable two-bedroom home, perfectly located for exploring Norwich. Whether you're visiting for business, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay, this thoughtfully designed space offers everything you need to feel at home.
As Superhosts we are on hand as you need via call or message.
Nestle in a very quiet hilltop only 17 min walk or 5 min drive out of Norwich City Centre. You will have the best of both worlds with peace away from main roads and close enough to have all the convinces of urban living such as near by, chip shops, corner shops and easy access to the city.
Saunders Rest serves as an excellent base to explore some of Norwich's most notable landmarks, all within a short distance:
Norwich Cathedral: A magnificent example of Romanesque architecture, this historic cathedral is approximately 1 mile away, about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive.
Norwich Castle: This historic Norman castle, now a museum and art gallery, is approximately 1.2 miles away, about a 25-minute walk or a 6-minute drive.
Elm Hill: A charming, cobbled street lined with medieval buildings, boutiques, and cafes, located around 1 mile from the property, roughly a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive.
Riverside Walk: Enjoy a scenic stroll along the River Wensum, accessible approximately 0.5 miles away, about a 10-minute walk from Saunders Rest.
Mousehold Heath: Offering panoramic views of Norwich, this expansive heathland is about 1.5 miles away, a 30-minute walk or a 7-minute drive.
Catton Park: A historic parkland designed by Humphry Repton, perfect for leisurely walks, located approximately 3 miles away, around a 10-minute drive.
Spread across two floors, the house features two beautifully presented bedrooms, each offering the flexibility of either a king-size or twin beds. The rooms are tastefully decorated to create a calm and restful atmosphere, ensuring a great night's sleep. The fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need, whether you're preparing a quick breakfast or a home-cooked meal. The open-plan space is both functional and inviting, making it easy to enjoy cooking and dining together.
For entertainment and relaxation, the living area includes a Smart TV with Disney+, and super-fast 343Mbps WiFi keeps you connected throughout your stay. The main bathroom is bright and modern, with an additional W.C. downstairs for extra convenience.
Step outside into the private shingle courtyard garden, a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. Outdoor furniture is provided, making it a great place to sit back and relax.
