The Oaks
by Allison Homes·Norwich, Norfolk
The Oaks sits in a quiet, semi-rural pocket of Norfolk around six miles east of Norwich, where open countryside and the edge of the Broads sit within easy reach of a busy, characterful city.
Area at a glance
Norwich, at a glance
Schools, transport, what’s nearby.
The development is close to the Blofield and Brundall villages, a genuinely lovely spot where the Yare valley, riverside moorings and Broads walks are on the doorstep. Families are well served: Blofield, Brundall and Lingwood primary schools are all nearby, with Acle Academy and Thorpe St Andrew School among the secondary options. Commuting is straightforward — the A47 runs east–west for Norwich and Great Yarmouth, while Brundall and Lingwood stations sit on the Wherry Line, putting Norwich station roughly fifteen minutes away by train, with London Liverpool Street services from there. Day-to-day shopping is covered by village Co-ops and a Roys store, with larger supermarkets and retail parks on Norwich's eastern fringe. For eating out, village pubs like The King's Head and The Yare do proper Sunday lunches, and Norwich itself offers an excellent independent restaurant scene, the Lanes, the market and Norwich City at Carrow Road.
