It is close to the city centre and within reasonable walking distance. Buses run frequently along Earlham Road into the city centre. A walk along Earlham Road takes you past the Catholic Cathedral, over a bridge and into the city.

The main building was originally the old Vicarage of St Thomas' Church built in 1905. This was adapted for Norwich Housing Society in 1979. New additions were added in 1979 during the redevelopment and further refurbishment carried out in 1995.There are now 20 one-bedroom flats. There are delightful well maintained gardens surrounding the whole complex." Show less
