Location

Selby Street is set in a residential pocket of Lowestoft, a few minutes inland from the seafront and within easy reach of the town centre. The street itself is made up mostly of older terraced homes and sits close to local convenience stores, small takeaways, and corner shops on nearby Raglan Street and St Peter’s Street. For bigger shopping trips, Lowestoft’s main retail area and the Britten Centre are about a 10–15 minute walk away, offering supermarkets, high-street chains, and cafés.

Families are well served by nearby schools, Roman Hill Primary and Red Oak Primary are both within walking distance, while Ormiston Denes Academy and Benjamin Britten Academy are the closest options for secondary education. Public transport links are straightforward: Lowestoft railway station is less than half a mile away, with regular services to Norwich and Ipswich, and local buses run frequently through the surrounding streets.

From Selby Street, the coast is roughly a 20-minute walk or a five-minute drive, leading to Lowestoft’s sandy beach and promenade. The mix of good transport, nearby shops, and easy access to the sea gives the area a relaxed, everyday practicality, close enough to enjoy the coast without being in the middle of the tourist stretch.
