A high-spec, modern detached home within a stone’s throw of both beach and woodlands has come up for sale in Corton, near Lowestoft, for offers in excess of £850,000.
The four-bedroom house on Corton Long Lane was built just a few years ago after the current owners bought the plot and worked closely with local builders to create their perfect family home.

There is also even more space to expand, as planning permission has been granted to create a link extension between the house and garage, a rear single-storey extension and to turn the garage into a cinema room.
Fine & Country, selling the property, said: “A stunning contemporary property, this home has been incredibly well designed and finished to a very high standard. Just down the road from the beach and set within the heart of the village, it’s perfectly placed for making the most of everything this area has to offer.
“A generous private garden backing onto woodland completes the package."
The property is offered with no onward chain and benefits from air source heating and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, as well as air conditioning to all bedrooms.
The magnificent entrance hall provides a bright and calming welcome to the home, so you can step through the front door and shed the stresses of the day.
To one side there is a family room with built-in storage, which would also make a brilliant, secluded study, while on the other lies a generous sitting room overlooking the front with a stylish electric inset fire. This leads into the heart of the home – the luxurious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room.

Filled with natural light and with contemporary contrasting fixtures, this sleek and sophisticated room is ideal for entertaining. The central space boasts a triple-aspect, with impressive double-height windows to the rear framing the outdoor terrace and woodland beyond.
The open kitchen with integral appliances has plenty of space for keen cooks to craft delicious recipes whilst still being able to see and interact with people in the dining and sitting areas. There is also a useful utility room to the side with built-in storage and an adjoining shower room.
Upstairs, there are four good-sized double bedrooms, two of which have walk-in wardrobes. The master bedroom benefits from a large dressing room and en suite, while the others share a family bathroom with a freestanding bath.
The property sits in a corner plot and the well-maintained gardens wrap around the side and rear. There is a large brick driveway to the front with parking space for multiple cars, plus a double garage with a room above that is currently used as a gym. It features a large, gable-end window and a sloped ceiling, and could also make a fantastic study or ancillary entertaining space.
Permission has been granted to transform the garage into a cinema room, which would compromise some parking space but could be a fantastic opportunity for film fans or families that love movie nights.
To the rear, a large terrace with a contemporary sunken seating area abuts the rear of the house and there is a large area of lawn with steps leading down to an extra area of garden backing onto woodland. The current owners have seen an abundance of wildlife in this space and views of incredible sunsets to the west.
A versatile detached studio in the garden is currently used a games room but could also suit a range of other uses and is well-lit in the evenings to make it ideal for evening entertainment.
The village recreation ground sits just over the road from the property and Corton has plenty of walks, restaurants, bars and activities to enjoy. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away and the local primary school is close by too.
