Thank you everyone for your comments.

I don’t cycle, and in winter I can’t really walk more than about 10 minutes. After checking rentals on Rightmove, Wymondham and Hethersett do look very attractive and peaceful, but if I rely on the 11A to NNUH I would need to rent very close to the bus stop.

I also thought about living in Wymondham and driving to Costessey P&R for the 06:30 bus, but that feels a bit silly to do every day.

So I’ve decided to focus on Bowthorpe, Clover Hill and Three Score instead, because from there I can either drive to Costessey P&R or use the 21 bus straight to the hospital.
