About the area

Situated just five miles from Norwich – and a country community for more than a thousand years – Costessey is a classic English village where you can enjoy a way of life that blends the best of old and new to perfection. There’s a real ‘village spirit’ with the emphasis firmly on community and regular social events, clubs and societies support the way of life here.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to leisure and entertainment in the city, with all sorts of pubs and restaurants, cinemas and nightclubs, theatres and music venues, art galleries, museums and more. Shopping centres are in abundance – the modern Castle Mall and Chapelfield Shopping Centre offer indoor browsing, the elegant splendour of the 1899 Royal Arcade pays homage to the past, and a large, vibrant outdoor market means there is every kind of shopping experience on offer.
