Glenmore, The Avenue, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR33

Glenmore

The whimsical run of period tiling leading to the front door is a beautiful insight into the period detailing you can expect to find throughout this captivating home.
The grand Victorian proportions begin immediately from the doorway, where elegant stained glass windows frame the wider than usual entrance leading you into the grandeur of an era gone by. Light is the quiet hero to this home, where natural light spills through a myriad of extra little windows from the eastern elevation in every room, basking the tall proportions you will delight to find at every turn. Framed by the handsome bay window, the sitting room which is perhaps our favourite room evokes an immediately calming atmosphere. Made all the cosier by the roaring log burning stove and quite a family sized room in comparison to the second sitting room which is a perfectly snug alternative where double doors lead out to the terrace and never ending gardens beyond. The welcoming vibe continues through to the kitchen, fitted with a range of modern cabinets and where you will find plenty of room to dine and socialise. A note of well needed practicality, especially for such a large family home, the utility room is a welcome tonic to keep a clutter free kitchen with room for all your daily laundry and additional storage. Equally, the recently remodelled shower room here is an entirely essential feature for growing families and lets face it, just very handy indeed!
Rising upwards, simple alterations over the years has seen the bathroom relocated to the rear of the house, opening up to now a vast open landing space and equally resulting in a palatial bath and shower suite, complete with free-standing roll-top tub. Two light filled double bedrooms lead from the landing with bedroom one framing the tree lined front aspect views beautifully, in addition to the single sized third bedroom.

Outside

It must be noted that Glenmore occupies an enormously prestigious plot overall where the significantly wide proportions allows for a driveway with space to park a number of vehicles off-road and a detached garage for secure storage. Equally, extended far to the rear, the gardens feel like a hidden Eden where sections have been landscaped and designed for different occasions and moods. From the vaulted bar and open plan outdoor living room to the whimsical summer house, this is the garden where you will never want the warmer months to end. With bountiful beds and borders which have been landscaped to enjoy every season, the garden seals the deal on what has to be described as an idyllic Victorian home.

Franks Thoughts...

Having driven past this home on a daily basis for a number of years, it is fair to say we were in love before we even stepped inside. A notoriously prestigious location and with those stunning Victorian proportions hitting the spot, Frank is going to be incredibly envious of the lucky new owner of these beautiful bones.
