Location - Costessey itself lies to the west of Norwich and offers an excellent range of local amenities including highly regarded primary and secondary schools, a variety of shops, popular pubs and restaurants, and easy access to the University of East Anglia, the University Hospital and the A47 Southern Bypass. The area also benefits from good public transport links in and out of the city centre, making it a convenient and well-connected place to live. The bungalow is tucked away on a peaceful street, yet just the other side of the roundabout you’ll find handy local facilities including a hair salon, Kind Café, hardware store, general store and the ever-popular Easter Bakery. At the other end of the street lies a wonderful countryside wildlife site along the River Wensum and access to Marriott’s Way — an attractive route for joggers, walkers and cyclists looking to enjoy nature while avoiding busy roads into Norwich. Nearby, residents also benefit from allotments, fishing lakes, a post office, pharmacy, two post boxes, golf facilities, garden centres, nurseries, active parish life and a great choice of pubs and takeaway shops.
