Description
LOCATION
This home is located on the most easterly point of the British Isles, in the traditional seaside town of Lowestoft. This wonderful seaside destination is steeped in history and offers a delightful blend of coastal allure and urban convenience. With its Blue Flag award-winning sandy beaches, Victorian seafront gardens and two charming piers, residents are treated to strolls along the shore and tranquil moments amidst nature's beauty. There are a number of schools in the area to suit all ages. Nearby Lowestoft town centre offers a range of amenities including a Post Office, Bus Station and the Railway station.
MARINE PARADE
Step inside where you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall. Currently at the front of the residence is a formal dining room that creates the perfect social space for family gatherings, with the presence of a beautiful bay window, while the rear reception room is a sitting room.The kitchen is fully fitted with units and appliances, offering plenty of storage space and plumbed-in dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The two upper floors offer six bedrooms in the main residence, plus a four piece suite family bathroom, shower room and a WC. The spectacular views at the front of the house have encouraged the current alternative use of two of these rooms, one as an upstairs sitting room, and the other as a spacious study/craft room. The property benefits from a basement, creating a self-contained living space for accommodating guests, additional living quarters for family members, or generating rental income. This floor includes a comfortable sitting room, fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a shower room, adding a layer of privacy and flexibility to the living arrangements.
At the rear is a low maintenance courtyard garden, predominately paved, bordered by raised beds and enclosed by walls. This space is perfect for relaxing in the afternoon sunshine or simply enjoying the fresh air. Ample off-road parking can also be discovered at the rear, ensuring ease for all residents and visitors.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
