Jaymo Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Moved away in 2002 so wasnt aware that Mulbarton had become so developed. But im glad Saxlingham Nethergate is unchanged --- lived there from 80 to 94. Great childhood memories, Saxlingham common and Shotesham Ford in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 We live near Brooke, about 7/8 miles from Norwich and in an arc from Brooke through to Loddon to the north (on the A146) there are a lot of lovely villages which have little development. Go to any of the larger towns or villages and there is massive house building in progress. Costessey, Wymondham, Poringland, Long Stratton etc etc all have massive new housing estates along with all of Norwich suburbs. Public transport is generally poor so hope you have cars. If you can I would rent for a while and work out the best area for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advice..............rent for 2-3 months and trawl around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Renting makes sense but there is a real shortage of quality rented accommodation in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) That's because people like you see sense and demand is high. You're main issue having read through this thread is that you are a commuter. The Dutch company than now runs the train from Norwich to London Liverpool Street couldn't look after a tortoise. Most foreigners make a wedge and then move here and spend money. Brilliant ,we love it. Edited November 20, 2014 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayman Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I live in the Golden Triangle, wonderful Such a vibrant diverse community with some quite upmarket areas. 5 mins from Norwich High School for Girls and 10 min walk to City Centre. I regularly drive to Station during rush hour and is 10 mins using known routes. Some nice houses on Christchurch Rd and a straight line drive to NHG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 If you don't mind a 35-40min drive John Bidwells shooting ground of the suffolk coast is excellent. Every type of target you could wish for plus a very high tower to get you in trim if you shoot game. Getting back to the original topic I sure you will love Norwich. I've had job offers across the country (Glasgow, Manchester, London etc) but having worked, briefly, in all those places couldn't see we would better Norfolk. Heard on the grapevine Mid-Norfolk ground is changing hands - Churchills Guns of Dereham? Any truth in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yes that is correct about Mid Norfolk from what I have been told as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Might use it when this happens - went with a buddy a couple of years back and didn't like attitude of owner. Needs new management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Norwich is not that far from the Whisky Distillery! just up the rud, and the whiskey shop is tucked away on swan lane, back 'o' the inns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Yes that is correct about Mid Norfolk from what I have been told as well So the gossip mongers say. The owner of Churchill's married the owner of Wensum Valley Golf Club's ( just across the road ) daughter. He has pots judging by his recent business purchases and the Mid Norfolk SG is up for sale at loose change I hope he gets the deal as Mid Norfolk needs some serious investment and the stupid restrictions for shooting hours lifted.
