Summary - The Red House, Back Chapel Lane, Gorleston NR31 6NY
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful two-bed semi with large internal space and off-street parking in Gorleston.
Spacious 2,024 sq ft overall internal area — unusually large for two bedrooms
Set on Back Chapel Lane in coastal Gorleston, this two-bedroom semi-detached house blends original character with practical family spaces. The living room’s exposed beams and brick inglenook provide a warm, distinctive centrepiece while a large kitchen/diner opens onto a low-maintenance rear garden and patio — ideal for informal family meals and outdoor play. Off-street parking for two adds everyday convenience.
The property offers genuine potential for a buyer willing to renovate and personalise. At about 2,024 sq ft overall it feels unusually spacious for a two-bedroom home, with generous reception areas and built-in bedroom storage. Gas central heating, double glazing and a modern shower room reduce immediate spend on services, though the exact ages of glazing and some equipment are unknown.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house requires renovation and updating in places, and the plot is relatively small despite the generous internal floor area. The wider neighbourhood is classified as an area of higher deprivation, so buyers should weigh local earnings and resale comparables. Services and fixtures have not been independently tested and a survey is recommended.
For a family seeking a characterful coastal base or an owner-occupier investor prepared to refurbish, the home offers scale, parking and a private garden in a convenient town setting. Expect to add cosmetic and system-level improvements to fully realise its potential.
