London Road South, Pakefield

This beautiful period home on London Road South combines classic character with practical modern living across three floors. Five bedrooms and two generous reception rooms provide versatile space for family life, while the kitchen/breakfast room, with bespoke units, wood burner, and underfloor heating, forms a welcoming heart for everyday living. A design-led family bathroom and contemporary shower room add modern comfort, and outside, private gardens, off-road parking for two vehicles, and the original coach house, currently used as a workshop/garage with potential for conversion (stpp), complete the setting. All of this is just a short walk from Pakefield Beach, part of the Heritage Coast.

Location

London Road South sits in the southern part of Pakefield, a coastal suburb of Lowestoft in Suffolk. The street is predominantly residential, with a mix of terraced houses and semi-detached homes, and lies within a short walk of Pakefield Beach and the North Sea, making the coastline easily accessible for daily walks, cycling, or enjoying the seaside atmosphere. Local amenities are conveniently nearby, including small convenience stores, cafés, and takeaway outlets, while larger supermarkets and a wider selection of shops are just a short drive or bus journey into central Lowestoft.

Families benefit from several nearby schools: Pakefield Primary School and Pakefield High School are the closest, both within easy walking distance, while additional options such as Westwood Primary School and East Point Academy are also accessible for older children. Transport links are practical, with local bus services running along London Road connecting to central Lowestoft, other parts of Pakefield, and surrounding villages. For rail travel, Oulton Broad South and Lowestoft stations are around a mile or so away, providing connections toward Norwich and beyond.

The area combines a relaxed coastal lifestyle with practical convenience. Residents can enjoy proximity to the beach and local parks while remaining close to shops, schools, and public transport. Road access to the A12 also ensures links to the wider Suffolk region, making London Road South suitable for both commuters and those looking for easy access to coastal recreation.

London Road South

On the southerly stretch of London Road South, just moments from the shoreline at Pakefield Beach on the Heritage Coast, this elegant period home sits quietly behind its own walls, a house with presence, privacy and a deep connection to the sea air and open skies beyond.

Approached through gates and set within a prominent walled plot, the property unfolds with an assured sense of history. The façade speaks of its era; inside, high ceilings, generous proportions and original detailing create a home that feels both grounded and gracious.

The entrance hall sets the tone, with a sweeping staircase rising above and doors leading to two beautifully balanced reception rooms. The sitting room, with its broad bay window, gathers in the changing coastal light throughout the day. A feature fireplace anchors the space, offering warmth in the cooler months. Across the hall, the second reception room enjoys garden views and retains its original fireplace, an adaptable room suited to quieter evenings, a study, or a more formal dining setting when friends gather.

At the rear of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room forms the natural heart of daily life. Thoughtfully designed with a bespoke ply kitchen and a sociable layout, along with integrated ovens, a gas hob and a sink/drainer unit. A cast iron wood burner brings texture and comfort, while underfloor heating ensures year-round ease. Doors open towards the garden, strengthening the connection between inside and out. Just beyond, the ground-floor shower room is finished with a confident, design-led approach and also benefits from underfloor heating.

The accommodation rises over three floors, offering five bedrooms in total. On the first floor, three well-proportioned rooms branch from a bright landing. The principal bedroom, with its bay window, has an easy sense of scale and light. Another bedroom features fitted wardrobes and period detailing, while the third enjoys a quieter side aspect. The family bathroom is carefully curated, a roll-top bath, pedestal basin and tactile finishes combining to create a room that feels considered rather than ornamental. A separate WC completes this level.

The second floor adds two further bedrooms, each with their own character. One enjoys a dormer window with far-reaching views and a feature fireplace; the other is calm and light-filled, creating flexible spaces that can adapt as family life evolves.

Outside, the gardens are enclosed and private, mainly laid to lawn and framed by established boundaries. There is off-road parking for two vehicles, and an original detached coach house stands as a rare and characterful reminder of the home’s past, currently utilised as an outbuilding for workshop/storage use, with potential to convert (stpp).

A new boiler was installed in September and carries a ten-year warranty.

A substantial, elegant home of five bedrooms, two reception rooms and generous garden grounds, offering both heritage and the ease of modern living in one of Suffolk’s most quietly sought-after settings.
