The Location

Old Palace Road lies in the NR2 area of Norwich, just under two miles west of the historic city centre, making it within easy reach of central amenities while retaining a quieter residential feel. The road sits close to Unthank Road and Earlham Road, which host a mix of independent shops, cafés, and local services, providing everyday convenience without needing to travel far. The main shopping streets of Norwich, including St. Stephen’s Street, Prince of Wales Road, and the historic Elm Hill area, are a short bus ride or a 15–20 minute cycle from the road.

Public transport is readily accessible: Several bus routes run along the surrounding roads, connecting residents to the city centre, universities, and key employment areas. Norwich railway station, approximately two miles away, offers regional and national connections, while Norwich Airport, around three miles east, provides domestic and limited European flights.

The area benefits from green spaces within easy reach. Heigham Park, a local community park with playgrounds, sports facilities, and open lawns, is a short walk away. Plantation Garden, a restored Victorian garden, and Wensum Park along the river provide additional recreational options. The neighbourhood combines tree-lined streets with Victorian and Edwardian housing, giving it a residential character popular with families, professionals, and students.
