SITUATION

St James’s Quay is a highly sought-after location running parallel to the River Wensum, which meanders through the city and offers boat and canoe rental and there are various pubs situated along the river itself. There's a riverside path which winds its way around the centre of Norwich or, in another direction, out towards the twenty-six miles of paths that make up Marriott's Way, a route loved by runners and cyclists alike.

A short walk away is Norwich Cathedral and the immaculately preserved Cathedral Close. Norwich Castle, which was begun on the orders of William the Conqueror, and now houses a fine museum is also close by.

There is excellent access (much of it just a brief walk away) to shopping, restaurants, and many of the city's principal cultural venues, including a multiscreen arts cinema housed in a period building nearby and the city's main theatre.

The oldest part of Norwich is the streets and alleys off Tombland, which is opposite the cathedral. Once popular residential streets for wealthy Norwich merchants but today a fascinatingly eclectic mix of private dwellings, antique shops, galleries, restaurants, tea rooms and a convenient cafe. There are a variety of historical period buildings on Elm Hill, including The Britons Arms, which dates to 1347 and is now a popular restaurant.

Norwich has a vibrant business community and, as the regional centre, has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including museums, the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, theatres, cinemas, Norwich City Football Club and numerous chains and independent restaurants and pubs.

In May each year, the city hosts the Norfolk and Norwich arts Festival, featuring music, theatre, dance, and other visual arts.

Norwich has an excellent range of state and private schools, and the University of East Anglia is located on the outskirts of the city.

The mainline railway station is either an easy walk or a short drive from St James’s Quay. There are regular direct trains to London (quoted by Greater Anglia at 1hr 50 mins to Liverpool Street Station) and a direct connection to Cambridge among other destinations. Norwich also has an expanding international Airport, which is just 4 miles north of the city. There are a number of bus stops within a 5-minute walk of the property offering regular services across the city and beyond.

Both the North Norfolk coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves, seals and sailing facilities, and the Norfolk Broads are within easy driving distance.
