Description:
Standing proud amongst the exclusive setting of the Norwich Lanes, The Silk House boasts a rich history, every bit as eclectic as the character of the property itself. Standing at almost 3,000 sq. ft. of highly versatile accommodation, this home is adorned with 17th century character features and awash with reams of natural light, showcasing the very best of an unparalleled architectural vernacular. Taking a stroll along the thriving lanes of the city, or perhaps along the wisteria-lined grounds of the St Giles Church, will lead you to the front door of The Silk House. This home stands timelessly. Its bright exterior conceals the most fascinating stories of the past, yet embracing you in a modern and functional residence ready to accompany a fulfilling city lifestyle. Built around 1680, the property was home to a Huguenot silk merchant from France, when the ground floor housed busy workshops, with the accommodation for the merchant found above. Local wool from Worstead was sent overseas and exchanged for silk, which was subsequently worked into extraordinary garments right here within The Silk House. One fascinating feature of the home, even today, is an original hand-painted stained glass window displaying a Norwich lion standing astride a skein of silk; thought to be the resident merchant's logo. Since then, this fascinating property has been a school house in the 1800s, a lodging house, a chapel, and even political headquarters during the First World War. Most recently, a fastidious and impassioned renovation alongside conservation officers has resulted in The Silk House as we see it today – amongst the most noteworthy of city residences, perfectly suited to a 21st century lifestyle without - for a moment - sacrificing the historical integrity and significance that makes this building so extraordinary. .
