The Location

Oak Street enjoys a prime spot in the heart of NR3, one of Norwich’s most in-demand postcodes thanks to its brilliant mix of community feel, green spaces, and proximity to the city. From here, you’re just a 5-minute walk to the city centre, or a quick drive to the train station, making it ideal for commuters and city explorers alike.

Locally, you’re well-served with everyday essentials, including a Spar and Tesco Express for quick pick-ups, or artisan bakers Bread Source for bread, coffee and pastries. When it’s time to grab a bite or hang out over drinks, you’re spoiled for choice. The Artichoke and The Stanley are local favourites with great food and a buzzing atmosphere. If you're after something laid-back, The White Lion or Malt and Mardle are perfect spots for a chilled pint and an easy evening.

For unwinding, the green space of Wensum Park is only a stroll away. There’s also the Grade II listed Waterloo Park, where you can walk the dog, play sports, or visit the pavilion café. Just moments from your front door, you’ll also find the River Wensum, offering scenic views, peaceful spots, and paddleboarding.

And for those who enjoy running or cycling, Marriott’s Way provides an opportunity to go further afield. With popular local schools in the catchment area and a great sense of neighbourhood, Oak Street offers that perfect blend of city convenience and everyday comfort.
