Buxton Avenue, Gorleston
Situated in one of Gorleston’s most sought-after locations, just behind Marine Parade, this substantial and deceptively spacious five-bedroom detached residence offers an exceptional blend of contemporary design, flexible living arrangements, and an enviable coastal setting. Having undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and a bespoke double-width extension, the property is finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout, making it the ideal forever family home. Upon arrival, the imposing detached and bespoke double fronted property welcomes you with a generous walled block weave driveway, providing ample off-road parking, with lawn, flower beds and mature trees and a wood shed, for the logs for both log burners.
The integral ‘one and a half’ garage and front door are canopied and pillared with a full width porch offering cover from the rain. Within the front door is a substantial entrance lobby, with double doors to the hallway, offering plenty of space to hang outerwear and store shoes, creating a warm and practical welcome, with the added benefit of an EV Consumer Unit ready should an electric vehicle charger be required in future.
The first of the traditional cast iron radiators appears, and these are found throughout the house, in either white or bronze. From the down-lit hallway, where oak herring weave flooring begins, you’ll find a cloakroom featuring a classic Victorian style, high level WC, oak counter and freestanding patterned sink bowl, with blue-tiled half-height wall, plus heated towel radiator.
The ground floor includes a substantial ‘one-and-a-half ‘ integral dry storage garage (with heating ample power points and lighting) and a versatile double bedroom/office/snug fitted with built-in wardrobes. This room presents a unique opportunity to create a fully self-contained annex, subject to the necessary planning permissions, offering excellent multi-generational living potential. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, spanning over 400 square feet, the entire width of the rear of the house! With its vaulted ceiling, three Velux windows and sweeping, oak and glass staircase, it is designed to maximise space and light with three sets of bi-folding doors opening out onto the sea facing, easterly rear garden.
The Nelson bespoke kitchen boasts a large central island with cream quartz top, a range of fitted units, integrated Siemens freezer, and dishwasher, and opposite a range of units, with inset ceramic hob, again in matching quartz, integrated smeg ovens & Siemens fridge. Bose surround sound ceiling speakers, stone, tiled flooring, with underfloor heating for the winter months, with feature log burner with a sleek chrome flue rising upwards adding warmth and character, making this the perfect space for family gatherings and entertaining. A separate utility and boiler room houses the Ideal combi boiler (still under warranty), a Megaflow hot water system, and a secondary sink—a practical space to manage laundry and storage.
Also on the ground floor, there's a built-in cupboard that contains the consumer units, burglar alarm system, front door CCTV connection, and water meter. While these security systems are currently switched off, they remain in place for potential use by the next owner. In the integral garage, a dedicated electricity meter cupboard is also in place, keeping all major utilities accessible and organised.
A separate dining room, leading from the hallway by double doors, also leading to the sitting room by double doors, and open plan to the kitchen provides a more formal dining area, which could function as a snug or second lounge, complimented by down-lights, and concealed ceiling lighting. The herring bone oak flooring continues, and flows into the sitting room. The sitting room is an exceptional focal point of this imposing house, boasting over 500 square feet, with a feature fireplace, complete with log burner, and bespoke surround for large screen TV.
The herringbone, oak floor compliments the space, leading to the superb kitchen and family room, and its sweeping staircase. Up the feature staircase, you are greeted by a stunning open plan mezzanine, with vaulted ceiling from the kitchen, providing over 300 square feet of open plan sitting room/office or library; the choice is yours! Down-lighters flow to the main upper landing offering four further well proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with an en-suite shower room, with window and underfloor heating, featuring a floating, stone resin integrated vanity unit, with his-and hers sinks, marble-tiled backsplash to match the marble tiled floor and feature mirror, with lighting. A double walk-in shower, with vary-jets and power shower flow, finished with matching tiles for a cohesive, high-end look, compliments, with a wall hung toilet, and designer towel rail.
From the spacious landing is a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom, with window to the rear of the house, with underfloor heating, marble tiled floor, and part tiled ceramic walls. With separate bath and shower cubicle, chrome heated towel rail, a floating stone resin vanity unit, and designer ‘egg’ sink, with concealed chrome mixer tap, and double mirrored wall unit, with LED lighting, to compliment the down-lighters. The ‘egg’ design also appears with the wall-hung WC, set in the recessed storage feature.
Off the landing, which has down-lights and designer wall lights, there is an additional shower room, currently undergoing work, which would be either ensuite or family, to be completed by the next owners, but amply serving the remaining bedrooms, making this home perfectly suited to larger families or those who enjoy having ample guest accommodation.
Above is a loft hatch, accessed via operating pole, with fold down ladder, up which is a vast loft space, providing two roof aspects, with full approved planing permission for a conversion, and with already prepared ring main, possibly providing two further bedrooms and two ensuites, thus providing a house for future expansion. The master bedroom suite offers space, light, comfort, and seclusion from the rest of the bedrooms, with its substantial ensuite, with natural light from a window, and fully fitted wardrobes, in an appealing grey, whilst the further three upper bedrooms offer larger than average doubles, all flowing from the large landing, with bedroom two with cream fitted wardrobes.
The property enjoys a generous and secluded east, sea facing rear garden, backing onto mature trees with complete screening for privacy. Designed with both relaxation and entertainment in mind, the outdoor space features a large lawn, sun-soaked patio, and a sea-facing boundary toward Marine Parade, enhancing its appeal as a coastal retreat, with a lovely Summer House, also just refurbished, in Coastal Blue. To the side of he house on one side is a gate and service alley, for discreet bin storage, and to the opposite a shed, running the length of the house, gated, for storage of tools and garden equipment.
This home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a significantly improved and extended property in a highly desirable coastal location, just a short walk from Gorleston’s award-winning beach and local amenities.
