About
Set enviably upon the highly sought-after and peaceful Gunton Avenue, this incredibly unique and versatile four bedroom detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true individuality — combining striking architectural design, generous proportions, and exciting scope for further enhancement.
Positioned within a quiet and prestigious setting, the property is approached via a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking, alongside a double garage, all framed by a mature frontage that immediately hints at the character within.
Stepping inside, the home reveals a wonderfully dynamic layout, thoughtfully arranged across split levels, creating a sense of space and intrigue throughout.
A welcoming entrance porch leads into a central hallway, where the tone is set for a home that blends both practicality and personality.
The main living accommodation is centred around an impressive sitting room, rich in warmth and charm, featuring original wood flooring and a striking multi-fuel burner — a perfect focal point for cosy evenings.
Flooded with natural light from multiple aspects, this space flows effortlessly out onto an elevated sun terrace, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The dining room offers a superb entertaining space, enhanced by French doors opening onto the garden and a unique split-level connection to the sitting room, further emphasising the home’s architectural individuality.
The kitchen, separate yet well-positioned, provides potential for ample workspace and storage, with direct access to both the garden and a practical utility room.
Completing the ground floor is a versatile fourth bedroom or study, ideal for those working from home, alongside a convenient cloakroom/WC.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal suite benefits from a private en-suite, while two further bedrooms enjoy access onto a balcony — a standout feature offering elevated views and a peaceful spot to unwind.
A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. One of the home’s most appealing aspects is its blend of immediate comfort and future potential.
Certain rooms have been tastefully refreshed in neutral tones, while others offer a blank canvas, allowing a new owner to modernise and truly make the space their own.
Externally, the rear garden is a particular highlight — generous in size and beautifully private, backing onto mature trees to create a tranquil, secluded setting.
A large paved terrace provides the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the lawn is bordered by established planting, adding both colour and depth throughout the seasons.
Further benefits include a double garage, gated access, and close proximity to local shops, amenities and transport links, making this both a practical and aspirational home.
A rare and captivating home — offering space, character, and endless potential in one of Lowestoft’s most desirable locations. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate its charm and versatility.
