Set in sought-after Old Felixstowe, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home occupies a large plot with sweeping views across open fields, Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club and the seafront. The house offers more than 2,400 sq ft of living space including an L-shaped sitting/dining room, separate kitchen, study and a galleried first-floor landing that frames the front-aspect panoramas. A south-facing rear garden with swimming pool, double garage and generous driveway complete the outdoor appeal.
The property is offered chain free and presents a clear opportunity for buyers wanting to create a contemporary family home. Many original fittings remain and the house requires renovation throughout — modernisation will be needed to update kitchens, bathrooms and decorative finishes, and there is scope to reconfigure the upper floor to form a larger principal suite where plumbing is already present.
Practical points are favourable: double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating, freehold tenure and no recorded flood risk. Note the property sits in a very affluent area with very low crime, but broadband speeds are slow and council tax is comparatively high — factors to weigh if home working or ongoing bills are priorities.
For families drawn to outdoor space, seaside proximity and generous accommodation, this chalet-style home offers significant upside. Buyers prepared to invest in modernisation will benefit from excellent local schools, good transport links and the exceptional countryside and coastal views this address provides.
