Set on a prominent corner plot in sought-after Orford Drive, this detached three-bedroom bungalow is a rare chain-free opportunity for single-storey living in Lowestoft. The property sits in an affluent, very low-crime neighbourhood and benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical for homeworking or staying connected. The wrap-around garden is a standout feature, offering privacy, mature planting and space for outdoor living. A large driveway and fully powered garage provide convenient off-road parking.
Inside, the bungalow offers a bright L-shaped triple-aspect lounge/diner and three well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a traditional hallway. The kitchen is a compact galley-style room with dated units from the mid-20th century and will suit someone wanting to modernise. The shower room is described as modern, but there is only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, which is an important consideration for families or shared households.
The house is small in overall footprint (c.722 sq ft) and was constructed between 1967–1975; it has double glazing of unknown installation date and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. While the property has been lovingly maintained, it does need renovation and updating throughout — it is best suited to buyers prepared to carry out cosmetic and possible mechanical updates to realise its potential. The freehold tenure and chain-free status simplify purchase logistics.
Local amenities include nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good to Outstanding, regular bus services and basic local conveniences. With no flood risk recorded and an established community setting, this bungalow will appeal most to downsizers seeking single-level living, couples wanting a manageable plot with a garden, or buyers aiming to refurbish a characterful property in a desirable location.
