The Location

High Street is a quiet lane situated in the picturesque Norfolk village of Ketteringham, located just a few miles southwest of Norwich. This rural location offers a peaceful village atmosphere surrounded by scenic countryside and traditional Norfolk homes. While High Street itself is primarily residential with a handful of charming cottages and farmhouses, essential amenities and services can be found a short drive away.

For shopping, residents typically travel to nearby villages such as Wymondham or to Norwich city centre, where a wide range of supermarkets, boutiques, and high street stores are available. Within Wymondham, roughly 3 miles from High Street, you can find local convenience shops, a weekly market, and larger retail outlets.

Families living on High Street benefit from access to several reputable schools within a short commute. In addition to the nearby schools in Wymondham, the catchment area also includes schools in Hethersett, such as Hethersett Academy and Hethersett Old Hall School. For younger children, the Ketteringham Nursery provides excellent early years care and education.

Healthcare needs are met by a combination of local GP surgeries and hospitals in the surrounding area. The closest general practice is Wymondham Medical Centre, offering comprehensive primary care. For more specialized services or emergencies, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is approximately a 15-minute drive, providing extensive healthcare facilities.

Transport links for High Street residents are relatively convenient despite the rural setting. Wymondham railway station, about 3 miles away, provides regular rail connections to Norwich and beyond, making commuting viable for those working in the city or traveling further afield.
