The adjoining dining area is particularly memorable. A vaulted ceiling introduces volume and light, punctuated by Velux skylights above, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the west-facing garden. Afternoon and evening light filters through the space, creating an effortless connection between inside and out - a room designed as much for entertaining as for everyday life.
Externally, the garden is currently presented in a simple, unfinished state, offering a blank canvas for the next owners. With its west-facing orientation and direct connection to the dining space, it lends itself equally well to landscaping, outdoor dining or a more informal family garden. To the front, off-street parking is already established, while the wider plot allows scope to further enhance the exterior setting over time. Here, the hard work has been done internally, leaving the outdoor spaces ready to be shaped and personalised.
Upstairs, the first floor continues the home's calm and considered tone. Bedrooms are well proportioned and quietly elegant, with both the principal and second bedrooms benefitting from fitted wardrobes that sit neatly within the architecture of the rooms. Soft finishes and restrained detailing allow light to take precedence, creating spaces that feel restful and enduring.
A fourth room, set just off the landing, offers valuable flexibility - ideal as a home working space, nursery, or walk-in wardrobe.
The shower room has been finished to a high standard, combining marble-effect surfaces, warm metallic accents and contemporary cabinetry to form a space that feels indulgent yet timeless.
Throughout the house, the refurbishment has been comprehensive rather than cosmetic. New uPVC double glazing with modern black frames, a newly installed Worcester combination boiler, upgraded central heating, CCTV wiring and thoughtful material choices speak to the quality and longevity of the work undertaken.
Planning permission has also been granted for a single-storey side and rear extension, including the addition of a garage and utility room, offering clear scope to further evolve the house in line with future needs - an appealing balance of completion and possibility.
The Area: Blake Road is a quietly established residential street characterised by well-proportioned early 20th-century houses and a settled, community-led atmosphere. Positioned close to North Denes Beach, the location offers the rare luxury of coastal living integrated into daily routine - morning walks along open sands, expansive skies and fresh sea air all within easy reach.
Great Yarmouth town centre lies close by, providing a broad range of shops, cafés and cultural amenities, while road and rail links connect efficiently to Norwich and the wider county. The area is particularly well suited to families, with a choice of respected primary and secondary schools nearby, and a neighbourhood rhythm that feels both practical and relaxed.
This is a setting that balances calm with convenience: coastal without feeling remote, residential without being isolated - a place to settle rather than simply stay.
