Location

Poethlyn Drive is a peaceful, family-friendly street tucked away in the Queen’s Hills neighbourhood of Costessey, a short walk from Longwater Lane. It’s primarily residential, with well-kept detached and semi-detached homes, many with generous front gardens and trees lining the road. Just around the corner, Queen’s Hill Primary School serves local children and offers a nurturing, community-focused environment, while nearby Costessey Primary, St Augustine’s Catholic Primary, and the secondary provision are all within easy reach.

Daily shopping can be handled just a five-minute stroll down to Longwater Retail, which hosts a Co op convenience store, a charming take-away café, and an emerging Lidl. A short drive into Costessey brings additional shops, salons, and services. For healthcare, the local GP surgeries, including Roundwell Medical Centre, are easily accessible, with urgent-care and specialist services just over the border in Norwich itself.

Transport links are strong yet unobtrusive, ideal if you want the rural calm of Costessey but still need to get around. Several First Bus routes run frequently along Longwater Lane into Norwich city centre, and the nearby Costessey Park & Ride offers a convenient option for familiar bus-to-rail links, the university campus, or hospitals. For cyclists and walkers, the Marriott’s Way foot-and-cycle path is a local favourite, offering green routes to nearby woods, parks, and beyond.
