A Victorian two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Friston, offered chain-free and ready for a sympathetic renovation. The house retains period character—exposed beams and a feature fireplace—while the compact rooms provide an intimate, manageable layout for a couple or small family.
The accommodation includes an entrance porch, sitting room, dining room, garden room and a small kitchen, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC upstairs. Off-street parking and private front and rear gardens add practical benefits for village living. Electric heating and single-glazed windows are in place and will limit energy efficiency until upgraded.
The cottage sits in a quiet Suffolk village close to Aldeburgh and local amenities, appealing to buyers seeking rural charm with coastal access. It requires renovation and modernisation—ideal for someone wanting to add value and personalise the home rather than move in immediately.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk and that the property is small in footprint with modest room sizes and standard ceiling heights. These factors, together with the need for heating and glazing upgrades, have been reflected in the asking price and define the work needed to reach modern standards.
