The proposed redevelopment of 8 10 Upper King Street, Norwich, seeks to sensitively restore and repurpose this attractive Grade II Listed property to create a high quality mixed use development. The building, currently occupied as a language school, occupies a prominent position on the western side of Upper King Street and comprises a highly attractive three storey Victorian terrace of significant architectural and historic character.The proposals will provide a sustainable and viable long term use for the property through the creation of two self contained office suites at ground floor level, each benefiting from its own independent entrance from the street. The retention of commercial accommodation at ground floor level will maintain active frontage and contribute positively to the vitality of the surrounding area.At first and second floor levels, the proposed scheme proposes the conversion of the existing accommodation to provide four well designed residential apartments, comprising two spacious two bedroom apartments and two generous one bedroom apartments. The residential units have been carefully configured to make efficient use of the existing building while respecting its historic fabric and architectural features.To the rear of the site is a detached three storey building, which offers further development opportunities. This building could either be retained as a single residential dwelling or converted to provide two or three studio apartments, subject to detailed design considerations and statutory approvals.A key element of the redevelopment proposals is the removal of the extensive flat roof structure currently located between the principal building and the detached rear building. Its removal would significantly enhance the setting of both buildings and create an attractive landscaped courtyard amenity space, providing valuable outdoor space for future occupiers while improving the overall appearance and functionality of the site. Overall, the proposed redevelopment represents a sympathetic and sustainable scheme that secures the long term future of this important Grade II Listed building, enhances its setting, and delivers a balanced mix of commercial and residential accommodation within a highly accessible City Centre location.For further information, please contact the office and ask for Leon Ramsden.
