Summary - THE COTTAGE, 16, HIGH ROAD EAST IP11 9JW
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large southerly garden, walking distance to sea and town.
Freehold detached three-bedroom cottage, approx 1,487 sq ft
This attractive three-bedroom detached cottage sits on a large double-width plot within easy walking distance of Felixstowe town centre and the seafront. The ground floor has been extended to provide a bright, open-plan kitchen/diner, separate lounge and snug, plus a utility and ground-floor shower room—sensible family living arranged over approximately 1,487 sq ft. The southerly rear garden is established, well maintained and generous in size, ideal for children, entertaining or landscaping for further value.
A key commercial advantage is the approved outline planning permission (ref DC/25/0411/OUT, approved 9 June 2025) for a separate dwelling on the site, presenting realistic development potential for an investor or a family seeking to add value. Off-street hardstanding accommodates multiple vehicles and a detached studio/annexe offers immediate home-office or hobby use, though it requires modernisation before residential use.
The house retains period character—leaded-glass windows, original wooden front door and Tudor‑Revival styling—paired with practical upgrades such as a modern fitted kitchen, Vaillant boiler and mostly UPVC double glazing. Not all windows are double glazed and the outbuilding conversion would need building works and consents. Council Tax sits in Band E, and the property is sold freehold with vacant possession and no onward chain, allowing a straightforward purchase timeline.
This home will suit families wanting roomy, characterful accommodation close to schools, transport links and the sea, or buyers seeking a town-centre plot with planning upside. An internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale, layout and the scope the plot offers.
