This 1930s four-bedroom semi-detached house sits in a sought-after Gorleston location, a short walk from the seafront, local shops and regular bus routes. The property is chain-free and offers period charm with bay windows, arched porch and several original features, alongside practical benefits such as gas central heating and fast broadband — useful for modern family life or a rental opportunity.
The layout provides generous reception space including a 14ft lounge, 16ft dining room, kitchen, pantry and a practical rear lobby. Upstairs are four bedrooms (three doubles) and a single bathroom. The plot is a real asset: an enclosed front and rear lawned garden, outbuildings and clear scope for a driveway or car standing off Kent Avenue subject to planning (STPP), which would significantly improve kerb appeal and parking.
Important practical points: the house needs modernisation throughout — the kitchen is dated and the property likely lacks wall insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms. These factors make the property ideal for buyers willing to renovate to add value, families who want space to personalise, or investors targeting refurbishment upside.
Neighbourhood features support everyday life: nearby primary and secondary schools (including an outstanding academy), the James Paget hospital, leisure facilities and reliable transport links into Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Norwich. Crime is reported low, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax is affordable. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and any planning applications for parking or extensions.
