SITUATION

Sitting along the River Wensum, Taverham is just 6 miles from the centre of Norwich and offers the perfect blend of town and country living. The village has an abundance of green space and access to the historic Marriot's Way footpath and cycle route which runs between the market town of Aylsham and Norwich. Taverham Mill is a local landmark and was once a major producer of paper which was used to produce The Times newspaper, Oxford English Dictionary and even banknotes for the Bank of England, before the mill's closure in 1899. Now the 100-acre site is a picturesque nature reserve with walks and four lakes fondly fished by anglers for carp, trench, roach, perch and pike.

Taverham has an excellent range of local amenities, including a village hall with superb facilities and activities, a library, schools for all age groups including a sixth form and the independent Langley Prep School. There is a doctors’ surgery, veterinary practice, scout hut, public house, pharmacy, dentist, and a good selection of shops and food outlets.

Norwich city centre is easily accessible and provides excellent shopping and cultural facilities. Norwich Cathedral is situated in The Close on the edge of the River Wensum and there is an extensive variety of restaurants, wine bars and leisure pursuits available within the city and a good selection of schools in both state and private sector. On the eastern side of the city is a mainline railway station (about 1.8 miles from the property) which has a direct line to London Liverpool Street and there is also a regular train service to Cambridge. The Southern Bypass gives access to the Midlands to the west via the A47 and to London and the south via the A11 and M11 and to the north of the city Norwich International Airport city with regular flights to the UK and Europe with connections worldwide.
