About this house rental
A proper house beats a row of hotel rooms after a long day on site. Original sash windows, high ceilings, decorative Victorian fireplaces and a calm whitewashed interior throughout. The kind of place you can wind down in for a week, not just sleep in. Run by a Norwich family team who know what working crews need on a long stay. Cleaned with fresh linen fortnightly as part of your rate. The whole city centre is walkable from the door.
As a family-run business, we run Ginger & Gold the way we'd want to be hosted ourselves: warm, responsive, and low-fuss.
You choose the level of interaction. We can offer full support and local recommendations, or give you total privacy if you'd rather just get on with the working week.
We answer messages quickly, share a detailed digital house manual with everything you need before arrival, and have been long-time Airbnb Superhosts. If you're working in Norwich and want a stay that runs smoothly without anyone over your shoulder, that's how we've set it up.
Victoria Street sits in a quiet pocket just off St Stephen's Road, one of the main routes in and out of Norwich. It's a safe, residential corner of the city centre. Victorian terraces, families, and just enough foot traffic to feel alive without being loud.
Within 2 min walk:
2 cracking local pubs directly across the road, both with plenty of ales on the pump for an after-shift pint
2 independent coffee shops
Number 8 Burger (genuinely good, directly opposite)
A convenience store and Iceland for the basics
Within 5 mins walk:
A large Sainsbury's at the end of the road, with its own car park
Chantry Place shopping centre (4 mins)
The Lanes and Norwich city centre
Within 10 mins walk:
Norwich Castle (6 mins)
Theatre Royal (7 mins)
The Golden Triangle (7 mins the other way), where the Hop Rocket and some of Norwich's best ale pubs are waiting
Norwich Cathedral
Self check-in via a keybox by the front door. Your unique code is emailed to you at noon on the day of arrival. We change the codes regularly between stays.
The front door is a Yale lock. 2 sets of keys are provided.
Please keep one set on you at all times and never close the door with both sets inside.
Parking: 2 off-street spaces on the property itself. The road is a permit area, but you won't need a permit because you're parking on the property, not on the street.
Full private access to the whole house and the courtyard for the duration of your stay. The cellar is locked and not part of the let.
Why this works for contractor teams:
8 separate beds, so nobody has to share. The single beds in two of the rooms zip together into super king-size if your team prefers own bedroom with bigger beds.
2 off-street parking spaces, both large enough for a Transit-sized van. Genuinely rare for this side of the city, which is the main reason teams keep coming back here.
Fully equipped kitchen for self-catering through the week. Everything a team needs to cook proper meals without the cost of eating out every night.
Additional cleans can be arranged on top of the included fortnightly schedule for an extra fee.
2 shower rooms, so morning starts don't bottleneck.
Superfast Wi-Fi included throughout.
Combi central heating with hot water on demand, fully under your control.
The outdoor space:
A private enclosed courtyard sits at the back of the house. 2 outdoor tables with seating for 10, sun trap in the afternoon, and a coal barbecue if you fancy a long evening cook (bring your own coals). The courtyard also serves as the designated smoking area.
