This extended, chain-free detached bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living on a large, private plot in Higher Drive, Lowestoft. The sitting room feels welcoming with a brick fireplace and French doors that open directly to the rear garden, while the kitchen/diner provides practical family space with plumbing for laundry and room for appliances. Three bedrooms include two doubles with built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite to the principal bedroom.
Outdoor space is a major asset: an extensive rear garden with patio, shingled areas, established beds, a summerhouse and greenhouse gives scope for relaxed outdoor living and horticulture. A generous driveway, detached garage and modest low-maintenance front garden add convenience for parking and storage. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and no flood risk.

Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it suitable for commuters or those working from home. Council tax is described as affordable and the area records very low crime.
Practical note: the house was built in the late 1960s–1970s and has an EPC rating of D, so some buyers may want to update heating, insulation and internal finishes. The rear garden shows signs of overgrowth and will need landscaping or regular maintenance to reach its potential. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-hassle single-storey home with good outdoor space and strong location perks.
