What stands out in the records

  • Broadband availability

    Gigabit availability averages 95.5% across 198 residential postcode records in NR1 2, using Ofcom's January 2026 snapshot. This gives each postcode equal weight, not each home. Check the exact address for service.

  • Mapped parks nearby

    The nearest mapped park is 0.2 km from the NR1 2 sector centre, with 5 mapped parks within 1 km. These are map counts and straight-line distances, not a measure of park quality or access routes.

  • Station and supermarket distances

    From the NR1 2 sector centre, the nearest mapped station is 1.5 km away and supermarket 0.4 km away in a straight line. These are not journey times.

This sector overlaps more than one council area

ONS boundaries dated December 2025 put the largest share of the mapped sector overlap in Norwich, about 89.7%. This compares land area, not homes or addresses.

Other overlaps of at least 5%: South Norfolk 10.3%. The charts cover Norwich only.

The boundaries cover about 99.1% of the stored sector shape. Coastlines, simplified boundaries and source dates can leave gaps or small overlaps. ONS boundary source, Open Government Licence v.3.0. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2025.

Recorded sales cover 2025; these medians are not current asking prices. Distances are straight lines between approximate sector centres, not travel routes. Missing values remain unknown.

How these comparisons were made

Sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. Suggestion reasons use the available sale medians, Ofcom January 2026 residential broadband availability, calculated as an unweighted mean of postcode percentages and undated OpenStreetMap station, supermarket and park locations. Distances to mapped places are also straight lines from approximate sector centres. A suggestion shares several measures with this sector; it is not a suitability score.

This guide covers postcode sector NR1 2, not the whole of Norwich. 6 of 6 evidence categories are available. Missing values mean unknown.

See metric sources and dates

Sector sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. The guide shows standard residential transactions for 2025, grouped by property type, with at least five sales per published median. School locations were processed from Get Information about Schools with OpenStreetMap fallback where needed. Check current English school inspection reports with Ofsted. Recorded crime counts use Police.uk open data; the processed sector file does not retain an observation period.
