We're delighted to present Dovecote Gardens; an attractive development of 2, 3- & 4-bedroom homes in the popular village of Old Catton near Norwich.

Being just 3.5 miles north of Norwich, with its national and international network connectivity, this new flagship development is within a highly sought-after residential area. Both Old Catton to the south and Spixworth to the north offer a range of essential amenities for your day-to-day needs, from a supermarket and selection of retail outlets to dental and medical practices, a veterinary surgery and a choice of pubs. There are also a number of beautiful parks in the local area.

Local Area
Located in the Norfolk countryside, yet mere miles from the centre of Norwich, residents of Dovecote Gardens are spoiled for choice when it comes to lifestyle and leisure opportunities. A few miles away, you'll find Sprowston Manor Hotel, Golf and Country Club, an idyllic countryside location where you can play a round of golf, enjoy a meal, pamper yourself at the spa, or cool off in the heated indoor pool. Dovecote Gardens prime location also places you near Earlham Park, the Norwich Showground and much more.

Educational needs are very well-catered for too, with the choice of a number of schools; Old Catton Pre-School, Old Catton Church of England Junior School and Lodge Lane Infant School in Old Catton, plus Spixworth Infant School, Stepping Stones Day Nursery and Woodland View Junior School in Spixworth. Norwich itself offers a huge variety of excellent state and independent schools, plus further education opportunities, such as Norwich School, Wymondham College, Notre Dame High School, Norwich University of the Arts and the University of East Anglia.

A little further afield, just south of Norwich, is Whitlingham Country Park, a firm favourite amongst city dwellers and countryside enthusiasts alike, offering a perfectly tranquil location to get away from life's hustle and bustle. Ramblers and hikers are free to explore the many woodland trails and meadows, and cycling enthusiasts will not be disappointed, as they're welcome on the paths at the park. In addition, National Cycle Network Route 1 runs right through the park down Whitlingham Lane and past the wooded area. With ample parking and refreshments onsite, it makes for a great family day out.

If you have a taste for the finer culinary experiences in life, historic Norwich itself offers first-class restaurants, plus countless leisure, retail and cultural attractions. Alternatively, explore the Norwich Lanes, a haven of independent eateries, coffee houses and lively bars. There's plenty on offer culturally, too, with the wonderful art-deco Theatre Royal, the Arts Centre and the medieval Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery. You can choose between two magnificent Cathedrals, with Norwich Cathedral having the second highest spire in England at 96m. There's all kind of live music venues, like the buzzing Waterfront, or the authentic annual Oktoberfest celebrations and the free, open-air art market in the city centre, where local artists can display their work on the railings of St. Peter Mancroft Church. Or for those looking for rather more energetic entertainment, head for the heights of the Highball Climbing Centre, Norfolk's largest indoor climbing facility, or even the High Altitude Trampoline Park, great for all ages.

For country pursuits - you don't have to go far for a break from the pace of urban living, as Norfolk is blessed with some of the finest, unspoiled countryside in Britain, offering a wealth of healthy lifestyle options. The world-famous Norfolk Broads are just waiting for you - endless stretches of tranquil waterways providing all sorts of recreation. There's the stately Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, a sumptuous 130 acre organic garden with miles of walkways, flower displays and daily boat trips. Or visit the historic Blickling Estate, the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, or the striking Happisburgh Lighthouse, built in 1790 and the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia. The Marriot's Way footpath, bridleway and cycle path, 26 miles long, runs between Norwich and Aylsham with breathtaking views of some of the most beautiful parts of Norfolk's countryside.
