Set well back on Gunton Drive, this substantial 1930s detached home offers generous family living with period character and coastal convenience. Original features — including oak flooring, timber doors and refurbished original windows with secondary double glazing — sit alongside practical updates such as a Worcester Greenstar gas boiler installed November 2023. The long curved driveway, detached garage and very large lawned gardens provide privacy and space rarely found so close to North Lowestoft beach.
The ground floor centres on an L-shaped open-plan lounge/diner with an open fire, a separate sitting room and a fitted kitchen with integrated ovens. A useful utility and ground-floor cloakroom increase daily practicality. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and loft access to a partly boarded, insulated space — accommodation suited to families wanting room for children, home working or guest stays.
Outdoors the plot is a major asset: approximately 0.83 acres in total with about 0.32 acres of west-facing lawned rear garden, mature fruit trees, vegetable areas, greenhouse, outbuildings, workshop and chicken sheds. The house enjoys a front aspect down the drive toward the sea and is an easy walk from the North Lowestoft promenade.
Important considerations: the property’s cavity walls are uninsulated as built, so there is upgrade potential and likely energy-efficiency improvements to be made. Council tax is above average, and while the home is presented to a good standard, buyers seeking a fully modernised, low-maintenance property should expect some ongoing upkeep typical of a period house on an extensive plot.
