A 15-bed city centre guest house, which used to be three large town houses, is up for sale for just shy of £1million.

The Marlborough Guest House, located on Stracey Road next to Norwich rail station has recently been refurbished and has come up for sale with Christie & Co.

The guest house has been in the Harvey family for over 40 years now, with current owners Robert and Maxine Harvey taking over in 2011.

The current owners Robert and Maxine Harvey said: “We will be sorry to leave the Marlborough, having owned the property as a family for so many years and after all of the time, effort and investment we’ve put in.

"However, our other interests are taking too much of our time and now is the right period in our lives to sell.”
