Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home, dating back to the 1930s, is situated on a prominent corner plot, presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The property features a spacious layout that includes dual reception rooms and expansive gardens, making it particularly appealing to investors or developers looking to enhance its value through refurbishment or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission). Inside, the ground floor is composed of an entrance porch leading into a light-filled dual-aspect sitting room, alongside a dining/family room and a kitchen that opens directly onto the garden. The current layout offers flexibility for an open-plan redesign or comprehensive update. Additionally, there’s a rear lobby and cloakroom providing separate access that could be advantageous for rental purposes or accommodating multiple tenants. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, with ample potential to introduce an ensuite bathroom or modernize the existing facilities. Externally, the property boasts off-street parking options at the front and a large enclosed rear garden surrounded by mature boundaries. This outdoor space not only allows for further extension but also offers possibilities for landscaping or even installing a garden office. Located in proximity to local amenities, transport connections, and popular destinations such as Sizewell Beach, Aldeburgh, and Saxmundham, this property represents a unique investment opportunity. The absence of an onward chain allows for swift completion and immediate possession upon purchase. Overall highlights include: - A corner plot with potential for extensions or redevelopment (STPP) - Significant refurbishment opportunities that could lead to considerable value uplift - A versatile layout suitable for modern open-plan living - Strong rental appeal following updates - No chain involved—enabling quick transactions
