Vibrant and culturally diverse, boasting an abundance of history and a strong sense of community, The Fine City of Norwich is viewed by many as a “hidden gem of England”.
While no-longer the country’s largest City, The Capital of East Anglia remains a thriving hub of activity.
Known for its distinct medieval past, vast array of churches and cathedrals, in addition to its close-proximity to the delights of rolling countryside and the North Norfolk Coast, Norwich has fast-become one of the United Kingdom’s most desirable places to call “home”.
Praised for its diverse offering of independent retail stores and hospitality venues, not forgetting one of the UK’s oldest street-markets, locals and visitors are well-served by the City’s wealth of amenities.
Combine this diverse offering with well-connected arterial routes to the cities of Cambridge and London, in conjunction with Greater Anglia’s Norwich-to-the-Capital in Ninety rail service, commuters can take advantage of an array of transportation networks, while other rail users can make their way to the Coast in under fifty minutes.
Benefitting from some of the best schools in the region, education lies within easy reach of any one of the City’s postcodes and, also home to one of Britain’s leading universities, undergraduate and post-graduate students can rest-assured that their academic ambitions are supported and well-catered for.
Having worked hard to protect and grow open green spaces, city-dwellers never have to venture too far to enjoy the multitude of Grade II listed parks which complement the historical beauty of Norwich city-centre.
Whether relaxing within 80-acres worth of green peace and tranquillity to be found in Eaton Park, or whether partaking in a game of tennis on one of the many courts situated within Heigham Park, Norwich offers the very best of “urban meets nature”, whilst also providing the perfect opportunity to embark upon journeys further afield with local nature reserves all within easy reach of the city.
Individuals looking to rent or buy are well-served by a strong and stable housing market.
Those who choose to explore the numerous villages surrounding the city-centre can make their money stretch further by considering both new and existing homes available within the locale, whilst others looking for something more central can look towards new developments in the city itself, or, to the splendid streets of Thorpe Hamlet and the “Golden Triangle” for a fantastic choice of period Georgian and Victorian properties. Listed by the Sunday Times as being in the top 10 locations to live in the UK, it soon becomes clear as to why Norwich is known as Norfolk’s Fine City, for life in Norwich certainly packs a tremendous punch when compared with other cities to represent the “Best of Britain” – Innovative, creative, yet sympathetic to its rich cultural history, Norwich as a UNESCO City of Literature not only demonstrates how the beauty of the past can blend with the wonders of the future, but also serves as a fitting example as to how quality of life can be achieved by choosing to make this Fine City your home.
