4 Bed Semi-Detached House, Lowestoft, NR32 4FF £625,000

The second floor is more private in feel, comprising two generous bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys an elevated aspect, while the second suite offers equally comfortable accommodation, making this level well suited to both family life and visiting guests.

Throughout, alu-clad Velfac glazing enhances thermal performance while crisply framing the coastal setting. Gas central heating serves the upper floors, complemented by underfloor heating to the ground floor.

The Area:

Clyffe View occupies a quietly distinctive position along Gunton Cliff, where the coastline feels both immediate and gently removed. The development itself sits on the former grounds of Briar School-a site with a layered history, originally a substantial Victorian residence and later remodelled in the 1920s in an Art Deco style. Today, subtle traces remain in the retained boundary walls and railings, lending a quiet sense of continuity to the setting.

Life here is shaped by proximity to the sea. From the house, it's a short walk to the clifftop and promenade, where the coastline opens out into long, uninterrupted views. Mornings tend to begin with the sound of the tide and the shifting light over the water, while evenings draw in more slowly, with the horizon often taking on a softer, muted tone.

To the north lies Gunton Warren, a particularly special stretch of coastline known for its rare and evolving natural habitats-dunes, grassland and shingle meeting in a landscape that feels both expansive and quietly protected. Closer still, Belle Vue Park offers a more formal counterpoint, with its historic gardens, tennis courts and open green spaces providing a well-loved setting for everyday routines.

Despite its calm, the area remains well connected. Lowestoft offers a full range of amenities, while nearby Oulton Broad provides a lively waterside atmosphere with cafés, sailing activity and a selection of restaurants. Rail services from Lowestoft connect to Norwich, with onward links to London, making this a location that balances retreat with practicality.

For families, several well-regarded schools are within easy reach, including Northfield St Nicholas Primary Academy and Ormiston Denes Academy, both within approximately two miles .

What distinguishes this particular setting is its balance-coastal yet composed, peaceful yet connected-where the presence of the sea is constant, but never overwhelming.
