Description

This six-bedroom detached home presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation potential. Originally constructed in 1903, the residence has undergone several modern extensions throughout its lifetime, offering a blend of period charm and contemporary possibilities. The layout features spacious ground floor accommodations, including a dining room, sitting room, and a kitchen/breakfast area. Additionally, you’ll find an office space, conservatory, and multiple bathrooms, providing versatility for family living or future reconfiguration. A ground floor bedroom adds further convenience and can serve various purposes based on your vision for the space. Moving to the first floor, there are five further bedrooms—one of which was previously used as a dressing room but could easily be reverted for additional sleeping quarters. This level is completed by separate shower facilities and a family bathroom. Situated on an expansive corner plot of 0.425 acres, the property boasts a generous garden primarily laid to lawn, complemented by established trees and flower borders. The outdoor space includes a double garage with an adjoining workshop and hard standing area that offers ample options for parking or potential development. While some fencing would benefit from replacement, the overall enclosure provides privacy alongside potential enhancements such as garden landscaping or creating functional outdoor spaces. Located within East Suffolk District Council's jurisdiction, this property benefits from access to essential services including mains electricity, gas, water, and drainage. With council tax band E and an EPC rating of D, there’s also confirmation from Ofcom that superfast broadband is available in the area. Whether you're looking to create your dream family home with an annexe or exploring multi-occupancy possibilities for investment purposes, this property holds significant promise for ambitious buyers ready to embrace its renovation journey.
