An investment opportunity in the centre of Lowestoft, this mixed‑use property combines a ground‑floor commercial unit that was previously a corner shop, with previous planning permission granted to convert it into a two‑bedroom flat, and a self‑contained first‑floor flat, creating an appealing prospect for those seeking reliable rental income in a popular coastal town. The shop offers two sizeable rooms ready for modernisation, while the private‑access flat above provides a spacious layout with a kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. With strong local demand for both residential and commercial lets, and everyday amenities as well as the seafront close by, it presents a straightforward, lifestyle‑led addition to an investor’s portfolio.

Lowestoft

Norwich Road sits in a long‑established residential stretch of North Lowestoft, made up of traditional terraces and mid‑century homes that give the area a steady, lived‑in feel. It’s close enough to the coast to make the beach part of everyday life, roughly a 10–15 minute walk or a very short cycle to Lowestoft’s wide sandy shoreline, with easy access to the promenade and the quieter North Beach.

Day‑to‑day amenities are straightforward. ALDI on Rotterdam Road, Tesco Express on Denmark Road, and Asda on Station Road are the closest supermarkets, all within a few minutes by car and reachable on foot depending on where you are along Norwich Road. Schools sit close by too: Northfield St Nicholas Primary and St Mary’s Catholic Primary serve younger children, while Ormiston Denes Academy is the nearest secondary option.

Transport links are practical rather than busy. Buses run along the surrounding main roads, and Lowestoft Station is close enough for commuting to Norwich or connecting further afield. The A12 and A47 are easily reached, making weekend trips or coastal drives simple.

Ground-floor shop

The ground‑floor former corner shop comprises two generous rooms and a separate toilet, with previous planning permission to be converted into a two-bedroom flat. While it requires modernisation, it presents a clear canvas for a variety of uses. Whether refreshed for retail, adapted for services or reimagined entirely, the space offers flexibility for an investor looking to enhance value or attract a long‑term commercial tenant.

First-floor flat

Inside, the kitchen is fitted with cabinetry, a double oven, ceramic hob and designated areas for appliances. There is comfortable space for a dining table.

Two double bedrooms offer flexibility; one can be used as a traditional bedroom or reimagined as a living room depending on how you prefer to shape the home. The bathroom is arranged with a three‑piece suite, giving a simple foundation for future updates.
