Perched above the Quayside, this apartment delivers a postcard-perfect setting in the heart of Norwich. Shops, pubs, and scenic strolls along the River Wensum are on your doorstep here. Modern and comfortable, the apartment is the perfect base between adventures. Sure, some street noise is likely, but it's all worth it to be so central. It's also got everything you need to feel at home, from a sleek kitchen to a top-floor main bedroom with an en-suite and river views. We think it's the ideal find for small families in search of an action-packed location.
