Property code: OC-S39047

Set in a quiet village 4 miles from Lowestoft, this welcoming home is well placed for exploring both the Norfolk Broads and the nearby Suffolk coastline. Ideal for friends or family, the house comes complete with a wood burner and a private garden surrounded by woodland.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s character is clear, with large bay windows drawing in natural light and highlighting its period details. Inside, the lounge/diner brings together soft seating, a wood burner, feature wallpaper and a TV, creating a sociable setting for meals and evenings indoors. The farmhouse-style kitchen sits just off the hallway, fitted with bespoke cabinetry and a classic AGA, alongside an electric oven and hob for added flexibility when cooking. On the ground floor, two double bedrooms both look out towards the garden and share a calm, restful atmosphere. The bathroom includes a roll-top bath for a long soak after a day of discovery. A spiral staircase leads to the top floor, where a bright double bedroom sits beneath the eaves, complete with skylights, a cheerful colour scheme and its own en-suite. Outside, the garden is shielded by woodland, giving a sense of privacy and calm. A furnished patio area sits alongside a lawn where children or pets can spend time outdoors. Parking for two cars is also available on site.

As the UK’s most easterly town, Lowestoft is known for being one of the first places in the country to see the sunrise – head to Ness Point for an early morning view. Close by, Corton Sands (2.5 miles) is well suited to seaside walks and beach games, while the lively resort of Great Yarmouth (6 miles) brings traditional coastal entertainment and attractions. Inland, the waterways around Oulton Broad (4.5 miles) open up boating, kayaking and riverside walks, while the historic village of St Olaves (5.5 miles) sits quietly along the River Waveney.
