Houses in or near RAF Honington

[abba1772]

just found out we are being posted to RAF Honington after xmas and was wondering what's the best area to ask for, we need a separate dining room as i am a childminder and need the space and 3 bedrooms and was wondering if anyone can help. many thanks abba1772

My DH works at RAF Honington. We live in Thetford(8 miles away) and the houses are a good size but not seperate dining room. As far as I know from houses in Honington they got smaller living room but bigger kitchen with space for dining table. Dont know about the houses in Bury St Edmunds.

Is your DH RAF or army? Mine is army

is it a living room/dining room, would just need to get clever storage that's not a prob just need a decent sized house with a reasonable sized garden. most people i hav spoken to say thetford or watton. my hubby's in the raf

Yes we have a big living room with our dining area at the back. All the houses in Thetford have really good sized secure gardens.
Thetford is not hugely exciting but has park, swimming pool, big huge Tescos, few shops, cafes, good library and variety of toddler groups etc. Honington is really just the camp and the houses and nothing else to do at all.

sounds nice whereabouts in thetford are the houses, what are the bedroom sizes like??? sorry to be a pain just trying to get things staright in my head, i'm arranging everything except for the move hubby is even going on a course for two weeks after the xmas holidays then comes back just before the removals do so will be absolutely knackered. thanks for being so helpful. we used to live at honingont but we couldn't drive and we didn't have kids so this will be a new experience. what are the schools like????

the houses are either drake road or hood way. ten mins from the big Tescos. We have 2 big bedrooms and a small 3rd one. All have good big fitted wardrobe space though. Not too sure about the schools as my DD is 18months and goes to a privte nursery. Their is a primary school 2 mins round corner from the houses which is pretty handy.
