Summary - 18 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE LOWESTOFT NR32 4LX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-cost home with parking and very long lease.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approximately 606 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers compact, practical living in sought-after Gunton, Lowestoft. At about 606 sq ft the layout includes a generous sitting/dining room, separate kitchen and two bedrooms — a straightforward home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor wanting low-maintenance accommodation. The neutral décor and modern fittings make it ready to move into, with scope to personalise and add value.
Practical extras include private off-street parking, a small enclosed front garden and exceptionally long lease (about 960 years remaining). Running costs are modest: Council Tax Band A, mains gas, and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The area is quiet and very low risk of flooding, close to local shops, Gunton Primary Academy and nearby green space at Gunton Woods.
Material drawbacks are clear and factual: internal living space is compact for a two-bedroom flat and outdoor amenity is limited. The property is leasehold (long lease but still not freehold) and would suit buyers comfortable with ground-floor living and modest room sizes. There is potential to improve kerb appeal and interior finishes to increase value, but major structural works are not indicated from available information.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost entry to the Lowestoft market — good for first-time purchasers seeking a manageable home or investors looking for a straightforward rental proposition in a predominantly suburban, low-crime neighbourhood.
