Location

Norwich is a city of contrasts — where history and modern life meet effortlessly. Steeped in over a thousand years of history, it has long been home to writers, artists, and independent spirits. Its medieval streets wind past Tudor houses, artisan shops, and cosy cafés, leading to the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral at the city’s heart.

Among its most charming corners is Pottergate, a historic area in the city’s cultural quarter. Once a bustling hub for pottery and trade in the medieval period, Pottergate retains its old-world character with cobbled streets and period buildings, yet is alive with contemporary amenities. Just a short walk from Norwich Cathedral and the Norwich Castle Museum, it offers the perfect blend of heritage and modern convenience. Excellent public transport links, including nearby bus routes and Norwich railway station, connect residents easily to the city centre, wider Norfolk, and beyond.

The city’s vibrant cultural life extends beyond Pottergate. The University of East Anglia, a striking example of brutalist architecture, houses the Sainsbury Centre — a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art. Norwich also boasts a dynamic food scene, thriving independent businesses, and a rich arts calendar.

For those seeking a home, Norwich offers diverse property options. From Victorian townhouses and converted mills to contemporary new-builds, there is something for every taste. Areas like Newmarket Road and the Golden Triangle remain highly sought-after.

With London just 90 minutes away by train and Norwich Airport providing domestic and international connections, the city is as accessible as it is captivating. Norwich is a place to wander, a community to belong to, and a city that rewards exploration — a place to truly fall in love with.
