Description

Confident on the outside, this characterful home reveals an equally meticulous interior, shaped by the careful eye of the current owners. Contemporary architectural lines meet the warmth of period grandeur, resulting in a striking home with a light airy quality throughout its impressive footprint.
Preserving the innate Edwardian detailing including ornate fireplaces, geometric panelled ceilings, stained glass windows and blonde weathered doors this home tells its own story through these beautifully retained features. But, in our view it is the bold and carefully considered additions such as the palatial open plan kitchen/living space and outdoor living area that elevate this home resulting in an incredibly remarkable and notably distinctive home. If you take a moment to really examine the design aspect, it becomes immediately evident how carefully the current owners considered every last singular detail, from the central framing of the Crittal-style doors from the entrance hall to the vaulted glass opening in the outdoor living space, aptly referred to as 'the Loggia' which allows the natural light to still flood through to the dining area.
Opened up via a sizeable rear return extension, the kitchen/dining room is a space which has been designed for real life: family dinners, early morning coffee's with room for even larger celebratory events. The expansive range of double doors pull daylight deep into the room, shifting beautifully as the day rolls on, blurring lines between outside to in. A special mention has to be said for the outdoor sitting room, the jewel in the crown and a space that won't fail to lift your mood.
The house is arranged over three floors, blending contemporary interventions within the elegance of its Edwardian bones. The two reception rooms are both inviting and adaptable to fit in with growing family changes over the years, with the sitting room evoking a more formal atmosphere in contrast to the family snug which feels instantly cosy by the encompassing dark hues.
The upper levels hold five bedrooms and two bathroom suites with a cheeky Jack & Jill style ensuite to the principle suite which feels decadently spacious.
The wide landings over the two upper floors really spreads out the sleeping accommodation, allowing room for space and privacy for growing families with every room echoing a similar pared back aesthetic with those charming period features still peeking through.

Outside

Finished to the same exacting standards as inside, there is so much to say about the outside space at Virginia Lodge. Aside from the practical aspect such as parking for multiple vehicles (which in this location is quite exceptional), the enormous timber garaging provides plenty of space for storage whilst the car-port is there for under-cover parking. What you will also be struck by is the amount of open sky there is considering the town centre location, with

About me

Given my family background of Architects, Property Development and Interior Design, property was an inevitable destination for me and my career and one that I have since fallen passionately and head over heels for since joining the estate agency world. Having spent a number of years working for a large corporate agency, it struck me what an important role an estate agent can play at such a significant time for most buyers and sellers but more interestingly what a difference an agent who actually cares can make...

We all know the reputation that estate agents carry around, I too have seen the distain on people's faces once you drop the bombshell “I’m an estate agent”, my response has often been “oh, but I am not one of those agents, I really care about what I do, I really help people and I love it!”.

Having helped hundreds of people move over the years, it became more apparent that people recognised that I was different to other agents, that I really did care and that my transparent method of working with all clients was quite simply, refreshingly Frank.

Frank Estate Agency is my opportunity to continue helping people to move, being able to be that constant pillar of support through every bend in the house buying and selling journey and fulfilling as many house dreams as possible along the way.

Living locally in South Lowestoft, I feel blessed every day to live in such a beautiful part of the country. My two sons attend local schools and certainly keep my hands full, in addition to my two beautiful house cats who remain firmly in charge of our household and my husband.

And this is where Frank can continue to make a difference...

Free from the constraints from the world of corporate agency where the advice is often given to clients to fulfil their own bottom line, at Frank we have the freedom to offer impartial and refreshingly Frank advice.
