The exposed brick staircase leads up to the bedrooms and bathroom (the staircase is narrow and steep typical of a property from this era). The Master bedroom has a double bed, bedside cabinets, clock radio, bedside lamps, table, chair, clothes hanging space and full-length mirror. The nice size family bathroom is accessed from the master bedroom and has bath, shower, toilet and wash basin, mirrors, towel rail and toiletry storage unit.

To the front of the property, parking is possible on the hard standing area (mounting curb required).  The back garden is large with patio area and lots of play space. There are tables and chairs to enjoy the sunshine and a fire drum available for guest use. Mature trees overhang the garden in places to provide shaded areas.

Beds will be made up fresh for your arrival so all you need to do is book, park-up and move in with your clothes and toys. The property electrical connection is from a supplier providing 100% renewable energy.

The property is on a quiet no-through-road and backs on to Gorleston High Street.  There are numerous pubs, cafes, restaurants and fast-food options and a supermarket literally on the doorstep. The beach, cliffs, pier and river are a short stroll away.  The high street has regular bus services to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft (via Pleasurewood Hills), Norwich and beyond. Access Parking for 1 car is available at the property, which is so central everything else is accessible on-foot. 

The nearest train station is Great Yarmouth (GYM) and typically costs £7-£10 by taxi each way.  Gorleston High Street has a regular bus service to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft (via Pleasurewood Hills), Norwich and Burgh Castle.  We particularly enjoy taking the X1 bus to Norwich to visit the castle and market, have some food, a pub crawl around the historic pubs (try the Murderers) and the return buses runs hourly until 11pm.  If you are planning on using buses download the "First Bus" app for timetables and live timings.
