An impressive period residence, occupying a highly regarded position on The Avenue, one of Lowestoft's most desirable residential roads. This substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house provides exceptionally generous and versatile accommodation, arranged over three floors and retaining many of its original features, including sash windows, cornices, skirting boards and floorboards, together with the attractive proportions and character one would expect from a property of this age.

The generous entrance hall sets the tone as you enter, providing access to two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, both positioned to the front of the house and each featuring an elegant bay-fronted window, flooding the rooms with natural light and providing a wonderful sense of space. From the rear reception room, doors lead through to the superb bespoke oak-framed sunroom, a particularly attractive addition to the property and a wonderful place from which to enjoy the mature gardens beyond.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the spacious kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is well fitted with a good range of units and work surfaces, whilst the adjoining dining room provides ample space for family dining and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing excellent additional storage and practical space.

The accommodation continues to the first floor, where there are three generous double bedrooms, together with two bathrooms and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned, whilst the two further double bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family, guests or those requiring additional space for home working.

A further staircase leads to the second floor, where there are two further bedrooms, comprising a good-sized double and a single bedroom, together with a separate study. The study could, if required, provide the potential for use as an additional bedroom, subject to the buyer's requirements, creating considerable flexibility for larger or growing families.

There is also a useful basement, providing valuable additional storage space and further potential for a variety of uses.

Outside, the property enjoys a particularly impressive frontage, with a driveway installed by the current owners which has been thoughtfully designed to complement the style and period of the house. The driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, a valuable feature for a property of this size and character. There is also gated side access leading through to the rear garden.

The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest features, extending to approximately 200ft (STMS) and providing a wonderful sense of space, maturity and privacy. The gardens are beautifully established, with attractive borders, established trees and shrubs and generous areas of lawn, creating an idyllic setting for both family life and outdoor entertaining.

A patio area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply enjoying a morning cup of tea or coffee, whilst the superb oak-framed outdoor kitchen creates an excellent entertaining space for family and friends during the warmer months.

Towards the far end of the garden is a substantial timber-framed outbuilding, measuring approximately 16'7" x 12'1", providing excellent storage and offering potential for a variety of uses. The garden also benefits from separate access, further enhancing the practicality and versatility of this exceptional outside space.

The property is also well placed for access to the James Paget University Hospital, whilst Lowestoft's growing offshore energy, engineering and technology sectors provide a strong base of professional employment, with the town's business and port areas easily accessible.

The Avenue is particularly well regarded for its attractive period properties and convenient location, with the seafront and beach within easy reach. Pakefield, with its famous fishing boats, coastal walks and village atmosphere, is also close by, whilst Lowestoft itself offers a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and everyday amenities.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful six-bedroom family home, offering generous and versatile accommodation, two elegant bay-fronted reception rooms, a superb kitchen and dining space, a bespoke oak-framed sunroom and an exceptional mature rear garden extending to approximately 200ft. The additional study, basement, substantial garden outbuilding, ample driveway parking and separate side access further enhance the versatility of this fine home.

Properties offering this combination of character, accommodation and outside space in such a highly regarded location seldom become available, and an early inspection is strongly recommended.
