Summary - 48 HIGH ROAD GORLESTON GREAT YARMOUTH NR31 0PE
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large garden, parking and development potential ideal for growing families.
Five bedrooms across three floors, principal suite occupies entire top floor
A substantial five-bedroom detached house combining period character with flexible family living across three floors. The ground floor offers four reception rooms—two with fireplaces—plus a long fitted kitchen, utility and a conservatory that opens to a large, private rear garden. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family shower room; the whole top floor forms a principal suite with dressing room, shower room and a Juliette balcony.
The plot is a major asset: generous enclosed garden with mature planting, multiple patios, greenhouse, ornamental pond and an original brick bunker, plus a wide driveway and covered carport providing abundant off-street parking. The house sits within walking distance of Gorleston town centre, schools and the beach, making daily life straightforward for families and attractive to holiday-let or rental investors.
There are clear opportunities for further development and modernisation throughout. Constructed circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no cavity insulation assumed) and double glazing fitted before 2002, the property has period features but an EPC rating of E and an expensive council tax band. The garden and many interior spaces would reward updating and landscaping to unlock full potential.
Practical points: the home is freehold, connected to mains services and outside identified as a low flood risk. The surrounding area shows higher deprivation metrics and mixed local school ratings, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand. Viewing is recommended to assess renovation scope and the development opportunities first-hand.
