2 Bedroom House for sale

Property description

** Historic Georgian Cottage with Approved Plans for 3 Bedrooms & Open-Plan Living (STP) Cliff Hill, Gorleston-on-Sea **

Set on one of Gorleston’s most historic and admired streets, this late Georgian cottage (dating back to the 1700s) offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of coastal heritage — combining timeless character, modern comfort, and approved plans for future growth.
Located within a conservation area, the property retains many period features including Georgian floorboards, Norfolk pamment tiles, and a hand-painted 1903 “For Sale” sign found within the home — a charming nod to its long history.
Just a short stroll from Gorleston’s award-winning beach (TripAdvisor’s UK Beach of the Year 2023, 2024 & 2025), the home sits amidst the very views once captured by J.M.W. Turner and Joseph F. Lambert. Nearby are shops, restaurants, Theatre, Cinema, the A47, and James Paget Hospital, ensuring convenience without sacrificing peace and charm.
Inside, the home currently features two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bright conservatory, and a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden.
Development Potential (STP)
The current owner has commissioned professional architectural plans to:
•Extend the property to create a third bedroom.
•Reconfigure the rear ground floor into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, increasing the liveable square footage WITHOUT reducing the garden’s footprint.
These plans present a rare opportunity to expand the square footage and functionality of the home while remaining fully sympathetic to its Georgian character — making this property ideal for buyers seeking both heritage and potential.
A bespoke outbuilding adds secure, practical storage, and the tiered courtyard offers a peaceful setting for relaxing or entertaining.
Properties of this calibre and setting are seldom available on Cliff Hill especially those which have the potential to become a decent 3 Bedroom Family Home. Drawings available upon request.
