North Parade, Lowestoft, NR32 4PB

Some homes are bought for the setting as much as the property, and this first-floor apartment on North Parade is one of them. It has side views of the sea in the distance, with Belle Vue Park and the coast a few moments’ walk away. It sits in a handsome period building in one of North Lowestoft’s most attractive spots, and the town centre, station and shops are all within easy reach. At approximately 644 sq ft, it gives you far more room than most one-bedroom homes. The ceilings are about 3.1 metres high and the windows are tall, so every room feels light and spacious. The sitting and dining room is the one buyers will remember. Light pours in through a curved bay, there’s a feature fireplace, and there’s room for a proper lounge area and a dining table. The separate kitchen has wall and base units, an integrated oven and gas hob, and space for further appliances. The bedroom is a genuine double with room for a king-size bed, and it has built-in storage. The bathroom has a bath with shower attachment, wash basin and WC. You also get allocated parking, which is a real bonus this close to the sea. The apartment comes with a new 999-year lease, and the buyer is intended to receive a share of the freehold once more apartments in the building have sold. There’s no onward chain.

It’s a great first-time buy or investment opportunity with plenty of character, a sensible downsize, or a solid investment by the coast.
