    Having read the thread, have I missed anywhere?

    Still need maybe one or two further options but it looks like most options have been considered!!

    Redford,I've just found the NDR route, which may be useful: http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/view/NCC074053

    Plus, lurking somewhere in my saved emails I've got some more precise maps should you wish to look in greater detail at specific areas.

    Brother lives in little Plumstead, not somewhere we have really considered!! Nice houses and a decent area but at this stage we are looking at alternatives!

    The new houses around Tesco in Sprowston are hideous - who wants to live on a roundabout?! I can see why they are either HA or unsold! Attleborough to me has always felt a little "out on a limb".

    Totally agree. Those houses seem to have hardly any front garden to them at all. :( Unappealing at any price.

    Having said that, I think Sprowston is an OK suburb. I can't comment on how good the schools are. This, Old Catton and Thorpe St Andrew would be my preferred suburbs. Very quick access to the city centre from the east/north east of Norwich. :)

    My mate has a house in Little Plumstead -on the new estate to the south of the village on the former hospital site. Nice house and area but I think he wishes he bought in Norwich now.
