Grimston Lane, Trimley St. Martin, Felixstowe, IP11 0RU

This charming three-bedroom detached period cottage presents an excellent opportunity for investors, developers and owner-occupiers alike to acquire a character home occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.157 acres in the sought-after village of Trimley St Martin.

Requiring modernisation, the property offers significant scope to enhance, remodel and create a superb family home, subject to any necessary consents.

Retaining much of its original character, the accommodation includes two well-proportioned reception rooms and three bedrooms, providing flexible living space with potential for reconfiguration to suit modern lifestyles.

The generous plot is a particular feature, offering exciting potential for extension and re-modelling (STPP), allowing purchasers to maximise both the property's appeal and future value.

Owl Cottage enjoys a convenient village location on the outskirts of Felixstowe, with local amenities, schools and transport links close at hand.

The nearby Port of Felixstowe supports strong housing demand, while the Suffolk coastline and wider town amenities are all easily accessible.

Offering clear value-add potential in an established residential setting, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached period property with scope for improvement and long-term growth.
