Newly refurbished and thoughtfully presented, this two-bedroom retreat offers stunning sea views, a private balcony, and an unbeatable location for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy a traditional coastal escape.

The spacious main bedroom features a double bed and a Smart TV, ideal for relaxed mornings.

A second bedroom includes two twin beds which can be changed into a king size bed on request.

The bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC, providing everything you need to freshen up after a day at the beach. The living room is the social hub of the property, offering comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and a dining table.

Outside, a convenient loading bay makes unpacking easy, and there is free on-street parking available nearby. Lowestoft itself is a vibrant seaside town and proudly marks the most easterly point in the UK.

There’s plenty to do within walking distance: Claremont Pier for arcades, crazy golf, fish and chips, and ice cream. The Thatch restaurant opposite the flat offers food, drinks, and a putting green. Kensington Gardens is just down the road with tennis courts, a duck pond, bowling green, and tearooms. A lovely walk along the promenade brings you to Pakefield, home to a string of pubs including The Jolly Sailors, which offers live music, great lunches, and sea views. A local cinema is also within walking distance, and there’s beach volleyball nearby for active guests. Adventure Island Soft Play is perfect for younger children. Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park and the East Anglia Transport Museum are both short drives away. If you're venturing out, you'll find: Nicholas Everitt Park (2 miles) – with access to the beautiful Broads. Great Yarmouth (10 miles) – classic seaside fun. Beccles (10 miles) – market town with an outdoor lido. Southwold (12 miles) – charming seaside town with beach huts, a lighthouse, and a foot ferry to Walberswick. Norwich (26 miles) – a historic city with fantastic shops, restaurants, and landmarks. Whether you’re watching the waves roll in from the balcony or discovering the best of Suffolk and Norfolk, The Overlook offers a peaceful, scenic base with plenty to keep both kids and grown-ups happy.
