Location
Whapload Road is a street located in the town of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. The road runs in a north-south direction and is approximately 1.5 miles long. It starts at the A12 roundabout in the north and ends at the Bascule Bridge in the south, which crosses the River Waveney and leads to the neighbouring town of Oulton Broad.
Whapload Road is a busy thoroughfare and is lined with a variety of businesses, including shops, restaurants, and pubs. There are also several residential areas along the road. One of the notable
landmarks on Whapload Road is the Marina Theatre, a historic venue that hosts a variety of performances, including plays, musicals, and concerts.
Overall, Whapload Road is an important part of the town's infrastructure and is a popular destination for both locals and visitors. Historically, Lowestoft was a fishing town and port, with a thriving industry based on herring fishing. However, in recent years, the fishing industry has declined, and the town has become more focused on tourism and services.
Lowestoft is known for its long, sandy beach, which stretches for several miles along the coast. The town also has a number of tourist attractions, including the Lowestoft Maritime Museum, the East Anglia Transport Museum, and Ness Point, which is the most easterly point in the UK.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
