Swallowfields, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR33

19 Swallowfields...

Formerly the show home, this distinctive family home has undergone a series of incremental and tasteful changes over the years, resulting in a calming refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Curb appeal is certainly one of the first boxes this handsome home can tick, standing proudly beyond imposing iron railings, the current owners have clearly invested plenty of time in tending to the well established gardens that frame the frontage so perfectly. The thoughtful care taken is immediately apparent inside too, the kitchen seems to be designed from someone who knows where the party starts, with a pleasingly sociable island taking centre stage of this room. Finished with sleek charcoal grey gloss cabinets, the light bounces off the flecked white stone countertops, a really fresh and distinctive modern contrast. Whilst already a good size room, the sitting room has been opened up to the extended garden room area, vaulted and full of light from the skylights above, this is a really versatile open plan layout that is bound to suit a number of varying preferences whilst also enjoying a natural indoor-outdoor flow to the walled garden and terrace.
Rising upwards, the bedrooms flow between two further floors adding further space and versatility to spread out into. Thoughtfully tweaked to create a more palatial shower, the master suite boasts a sizeable en-suite shower room, the first of three you will find throughout the house. Two more bedrooms can be found on the first floor in addition to the next family shower room, all leading from the bright and airy landing. The second floor presents an opportunity for a more private space, with the two remaining bedrooms and third shower room, this floor could really suit older children seeking a little more separation and independence as time goes on.

Outside...

Occupying one of the most generous plots within this development, the established gardens wrap around this home, creating a haven of peace and tranquillity to enjoy all year round. The driveway allows space to park a number of vehicles off road and provides access to the double garage. The walled garden to the rear has clearly been a labour of love over the years, with defined zones to enjoy as you chase the sun, from the secluded terrace at the rear to the decked terrace where the current owners enjoy the privacy from their deluxe hot-tub.

Some important bits...

The Solar panels provide discounted rates throughout the year for the hot water supply and a pay back scheme annually. The sauna fitted in bedroom three and deluxe hot-tub are not included within the sale but may be available subject to negotiation.

Franks Thoughts...

Having been a well loved family home for over two decades, it's clear to see why this is the first time this home has come to the market since new. A handsome home with plenty of space for a large family to enjoy...
