Superior design

The houses are of a modern internal design with predominantly traditional brick and render elevations, which have been influenced by the surrounding RAF officers housing and the latest architectural designs on adjacent land.

Architectural detailing on the house designs incorporate features such as red brick facades with contrasting brickwork, variation in window styles, simple porches, brick chimneys, dormer windows and traditional grey pitched roofs.

The designs provide varying house sizes, shapes and roof pitches ensuring architectural consistency but also individual identity, which is sympathetic to the surrounding RAF officers housing.

Essentials on your doorstep

Orchard Place offers a range of shops and services just minutes from your front door, with two of the top 200 rated secondary schools in Norwich within easy reach.

  • A range of everyday essentials within walking distance
  • Great transport links with regular bus services into the city centre
  • A huge array of retail and leisure facilities in Norwich city centre
