Location
Corton Road runs through the well-regarded residential area of Gunton in north Lowestoft, just a short distance from the town centre and the Suffolk coastline. The area offers a good range of local amenities: There are several convenience stores, independent shops, cafés and takeaway options nearby, with larger supermarkets such as Tesco and Morrisons only a short drive away. For families, there is a good selection of schools in the area — Gunton Primary School, Poplars Community Primary School, and Ormiston Denes Academy for secondary education — all within easy reach. Healthcare needs are well served by nearby gp practices and dental surgeries, while the main James Paget University Hospital is located around 20 minutes away in Gorleston.
Transport links are excellent: Regular bus services run along Corton Road connecting the area with Lowestoft town centre, Great Yarmouth and beyond, and Lowestoft train station provides direct rail services to Norwich and Ipswich. The A12 road offers easy car access north and south along the coast. The area is also known for its green spaces, with Gunton Woods and the beautiful Suffolk coastline within walking distance, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and families.
Corton Road
Step inside via a spacious, welcoming entrance hall, immediately giving a sense of light and space. The heart of the home is the expansive L-shaped sitting room, flooded with natural light and anchored by a charming brick-built fireplace — the perfect spot to relax or host friends and family. A light-filled conservatory adjoins the living space, bringing the outdoors in and providing an ideal setting to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, all while taking in views of the beautiful gardens.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a freestanding oven, and a practical breakfast bar island, complemented by under-counter spaces for appliances — ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate utility room offers further convenience, with plumbing for laundry appliances and ample additional storage.
The accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a private en-suite. The family bathroom and a separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms and guests.
Outside, the lifestyle potential truly shines. The expansive rear garden is well-maintained and predominantly laid to lawn, creating a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living. A large patio area offers ample space for alfresco dining, summer barbecues or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
The property also benefits from a substantial brick-weave driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, which continues down the side of the property to a detached double garage. This versatile space offers secure parking, additional storage or, subject to planning, the potential to convert into a home office, gym or guest accommodation.
Whether you are looking to downsize to single-storey living with privacy and space, or to modernise and personalise a substantial property in a premier location, this is a rare opportunity in one of Gunton’s most desirable settings.
