Set a short walk from South Lowestoft beach, this double bay-fronted Victorian end-terrace offers three-bedroom family accommodation with character features and a small rear garden. The layout includes a front lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and three first-floor bedrooms — a practical plan for first-time buyers or landlords seeking immediate rental income. The property is offered chain free at a realistic price, ready to occupy while modest modernisation would add value.
The house benefits from UPVC double glazing and electric slimline storage heating; original floorboards remain in parts, adding period charm. The rear lawned garden has a patio area for outdoor dining and could, subject to planning permission, accommodate a rear parking space — a useful potential improvement in this terraced neighbourhood.
Important practical points: the home has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and relies on electric heating, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern homes. The area is in a very deprived ward with constrained local rental demand; buyers should consider local market conditions and refurbishment costs when assessing long-term value.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented period terrace with reasonable living space (c. 894 sq ft), low council tax and easy access to beachside amenities. It is suited to a first-time buyer wanting a character home within walking distance of the seafront, or an investor prepared to carry out updating work to improve energy efficiency and rental appeal.
