Location

Magdalen Road in Norwich is a charming and vibrant street located in the heart of the city’s Sewell Ward, just a mile northeast of the bustling city centre. This community focused thoroughfare is lined with a delightful mix of independent shops and eateries—think cosy cafés, a local florist or plant shop, a friendly bakery, an artisan butcher, a pet store, a small greengrocer, and a welcoming pub or a wine bar. The atmosphere is lively and social.

Families are well catered for, with several schools within easy walking distance: Angel Road Infant and Junior Schools, Magdalen Gates Primary, and Sewell Park Academy for older pupils. This makes the area attractive to young families while also drawing in a mix of professionals, students, and retirees, giving it a diverse and balanced community feel.

Healthcare needs are met close to home: a few private clinics and osteopaths sit right on the road, while the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and the Community Hospital at Bowthorpe Road are just a short bus ride or cycle away—accessible yet not imposing. Speaking of transit, Magdalen Road is well served by several bus routes that link directly to the city centre, university areas, hospital, and local suburbs, with bus stops peppered along Waterloo Road and nearby streets. For longer journeys, Norwich’s main railway and bus stations lie about a mile to the south, offering frequent services across the country.
