Long Stratton is a small South Norfolk town that consists of just two villages.

It’s one of Norfolk’s newest towns consisting of Stratton St Mary and Stratton St Michael and only transitioning from village to town in 2019 due to its rapid growth in popularity. Many people have moved to Long Stratton because of its convenient access to Norwich as well as Ipswich. 

The former Roman road now known as the A140 takes you straight into the City of Norwich, and if you go the other way you’ll be heading straight for Ipswich.

The heart of Long Stratton consists of some quant and curious houses from different centuries, dating back to the 16th century.

Feeding off the main road you’ll find a mixture of modern developments as well as lanes leading to villages and farmland.
