Chain free two-bedroom semi-detached home, ideal first purchase
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom home minutes from Gorleston beach and the High Street — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting seaside access and low upfront hassle. The living spaces are practical: a lounge with French doors, an L-shaped kitchen/diner and a small courtyard provide comfortable, low-maintenance living. Off-street shared parking is included.
This property is small (approx. 578 sq ft) and suits buyers prioritising location over large rooms. It benefits from double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for working from home or streaming. Council Tax Band B helps keep running costs down.
There are a few important points to check before viewing. Records include conflicting construction and heating details (listing states built 2008 with a Worcester gas boiler, while other data notes earlier construction and electric storage heaters). Walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation. The area shows above-average crime and local deprivation indicators — buyers should consider security and insurance costs.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-upkeep home in a central coastal spot with reasonable rental or starter-home potential. Buyers are advised to verify heating and construction details, commission a survey, and consider modest insulation or heating upgrades if planning long-term occupation.
