Location
Catchpole Close is set within Kessingland, a sought-after coastal village located just south of Lowestoft. The village is best known for its wide sandy beach, nature reserves, and easy access to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Everyday amenities including shops, cafés, pubs, and a primary school are all available within the village, while nearby Lowestoft provides a wider range of supermarkets, leisure facilities, and secondary schools. Road links via the A12 connect quickly to Southwold, Beccles, and Great Yarmouth, making the area ideal for both commuting and enjoying the coast. The area is popular with those seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle with plenty of opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and outdoor activities. Regular bus services also provide convenient travel into surrounding towns and the city of Norwich.
Catchpole Close, Kessingland
Step into the welcoming entrance hall, where you will find a conveniently placed WC and airing cupboard. From here, the home opens into a generous lounge filled with natural light. Twin chandeliers, wall lights, and multiple windows create a bright and inviting atmosphere, while a traditional fireplace with a wooden surround provides a central focal point that complements the soft carpet underfoot. Double doors connect the lounge to a well-lit dining room, offering a versatile space for both formal occasions and everyday use.
The kitchen has a fresh, modern feel with a practical layout. Cream shaker-style cabinetry with dark handles is paired with a stone-effect worktop and tiled splashback in neutral tones. Integrated appliances, including an oven, hob with extractor, and dishwasher, create a streamlined finish, while tiled flooring and space for dining add to its functionality. A separate utility room continues the theme with matching fitted units, tiled splashback, plumbing for a washing machine, and direct access to the garden.
French doors from the kitchen open into a large conservatory with wood-effect flooring and garden views, providing an additional living area filled with natural light and French doors leading outside.
The bungalow offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying natural light and carpeted flooring. The principal bedroom stands out with its built-in wardrobe and private en-suite shower room. Here, a vanity unit provides useful storage and incorporates a ceramic wash basin with mixer tap, complemented by mirrored cabinets, a frosted window, and a neatly tiled finish. The further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, one enhanced by a fitted corner bookcase that adds character and display space.
A family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms, finished in neutral tones with patterned tile detailing, a large walk-in shower, WC, and vanity unit with storage.
Outside, the garden is both generous and well-kept, bordered with mature greenery that ensures privacy and seasonal interest. A central lawn is framed by shrubs, hedging, and small trees, while a charming wooden summer house offers further storage or the potential for a hobby space. Paved seating areas create practical spots for outdoor dining and relaxation, and the conservatory’s French doors open directly onto this inviting space.
To the front, a brickweave driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a garage with a store to the rear, accompanied by neat shrub borders and a front lawn that enhances the property’s kerb appeal. Gated side access ensures easy movement between the front and rear garden.s
