NO ONWARD CHAIN. The Location
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from the centre of Hingham, an elegant market town once known as 'Little London' due to the quality of its buildings. The town is picturesque and famed for its ancestral links to one time US president, Abraham Lincoln, to which a local cafe on The Fairlands still promotes the name. A large part of Hingham's popularity is down to its useful facilities, shops and local businesses which are centred around the pretty Market Place. The town also has a primary school and doctors’ surgery which was recently voted within the top 10 surgeries in England. Several other market towns including Wymondham, Attleborough and Dereham are all within 10 miles from Hingham, with Norwich also just 14 miles away. Norwich is a historic and popular university city offering a vibrant entertainment scene, with numerous independent shops, bars and restaurants, as well as excellent shopping facilities. The city offers good transport links with a central railway and bus station and an international airport located just a few miles north of the city.
