Somerleyton Road, Oulton Broad

Bright, considered and refurbished for life rather than show, this three-bedroom bungalow is suitable for those searching for a turn-key property or wanting to downsize without comprise. At the front, a well-equipped Howdens kitchen, finished with high-quality fixtures and fittings, forms an inviting space to cook. The open-plan sitting and dining room sits at the heart of the home, designed for effortless connection when hosting or settling into everyday family rhythm. Three thoughtfully shaped bedrooms provide privacy and calm, with the third room lending itself easily to home working or guests, while a new three-piece shower suite serves the household with fresh, practical simplicity. A fully enclosed south-facing garden brings warmth and seclusion to outdoor living, paired with a recently completed brick-weave driveway, garage and updated elements throughout.
Location
Somerleyton Road sits within Oulton, at the northern edge of Lowestoft, giving it a quieter neighbourhood feel while keeping everyday essentials close. Oulton Broad is nearby, offering long waterside paths around the broads, marinas, sailing activity, and a strong choice of independent cafés and pubs along the promenade, the sort of place locals use year-round for morning walks and impromptu evenings by the water. Food shopping is simple, with Lidl and Tesco both within a few minutes’ drive, supported by neighbourhood stores, bakeries, post office services and casual dining spots that cover most daily needs without heading into the town centre. Directly opposite the property is a community green and play park, giving the street an open outlook, space for informal sport, dog walking, and a low-friction option for fresh air throughout the week.
Families are well placed for schooling, with Woods Loke Primary School a short distance away, and secondary education provided nearby by Benjamin Britten Academy. Transport links are practical rather than intrusive, with rail access at Oulton Broad North and Oulton Broad South connecting toward Norwich, Ipswich and the wider region, while local bus routes serve the surrounding villages and coastal corridor. The road also benefits from fast access to the A146 for trips inland and the southern broads, and the A1117 for getting around Lowestoft without threading through central traffic.

Step inside where you are instantly greeted by a welcoming entrance hall, allowing access into all rooms. Natural light sets the tone, creating an immediate sense of openness and calm. Positioned at the front of the residence, the new Howdens kitchen has been crafted for those who enjoy cooking. It is fitted with Howdens quality cabinetry, an integrated oven, space for a tall fridge/freezer and a dedicated area for your washing appliance.
At the heart of the home, an open-plan sitting and dining room forms a natural gathering place. The layout allows for effortless interaction when hosting occasions and a relaxed flow for everyday family life. It is perfect for showcasing your comfortable furniture and dining set-up, with proportions that feel warm rather than staged.
The accommodation consists of three bedrooms, each quietly considered to balance relaxation and privacy. The third bedroom offers enviable flexibility, as a home office, guest bedroom or dressing space depending on the shifting needs of modern life. The bathroom continues the home’s refined, practical approach, fitted with a brand-new three-piece shower suite designed to serve the household with ease.
Outside, a well-maintained, south-facing garden provides a private, sun-led extension of the living space. Mainly laid to lawn with a patio ready for outdoor furniture, the fully enclosed boundaries offer seclusion. At the front, a new brick-weave driveway, completed within the past 2 years, leads to a single garage, delivering generous parking and storage without compromise.
The home has been transformed at every level, with a whole-house re-plaster, full re-wire, new plumbing system, new radiators, fuse board, high-quality LVT flooring throughout, new skirting and architraves, fresh carpets in all bedrooms and USB-integrated socket faceplates for very real 2020s functionality. A top-of-the-range boiler, still under warranty, brings both reassurance and efficiency, ensuring comfort through every season.
