DESCRIPTION
11 Mount Pleasant is a superb semi-detached period house, believed to date from the early 1800s. The property is of brick construction under a tiled roof, set over four floors, and comprises well-proportioned family-sized accommodation situated in a highly desirable area of Norwich. The windows are double glazed throughout and fitted with stylish plantation blinds.
A welcoming entrance hall provides stairs rising to the first floor, practical built-in storage and the convenience of a ground floor cloakroom.
The property has been beautifully maintained to an exceptional standard and in 2015 won an architectural award following a complete refurbishment. Of particular note is the stunning open plan kitchen/breakfast room featuring an electric Aga with five ovens (including a fan oven and an electric oven) alongside a gas hob. A large central island incorporates an integrated dishwasher, waste bins and breakfast bar seating. There is space for an American-style fridge freezer, and a walk-in pantry with vaulted ceiling and access to a loft space. The room is dual aspect with additional skylights, creating a wonderfully light and airy living space. Bi-fold doors with inlaid electric blinds open out to the private courtyard, and the space benefits from a built-in Bose sound system, flowing seamlessly into the dining room which also enjoys bi-folding doors to the courtyard.
