Description
A fabulous opportunity to acquire a derelict four bedroom former coach house offering the potential to renovate or rebuild.
The Property
Fern Court Cottage is a charming, albeit derelict, former coach house that originally belonged to the Grand Fern Court on Park Road. Fern Court was damaged by bombing during the Second World War and, where the original rear wing once stood, a new house was subsequently constructed. Beyond this lies Fern Court Cottage, now offered for sale for the first time in many decades.
This represents a rare opportunity to restore and renovate a historic building or, subject to the necessary planning permissions, or replace it with a distinctive new family home. The property occupies a generous plot in a secluded and peaceful setting, just a short walk from Aldeburgh’s High Street, the beach and the tennis courts.
The Plot
The existing building sits well back within the plot, with the site widening towards the rear, offering excellent scope to extend as part of a comprehensive renovation or to create a replacement dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permissions. There is ample space to provide generous off-road parking together with the potential to construct a garage to the front.
The site is available for inspection strictly by appointment with the selling agents. Access to the property is entirely at the viewer’s own risk due to its current condition. For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Michael Bedford at Bedfords Estate
Agents.
Agent note: There has in the past been Japanese knotweed present on this property; however, it has been professionally treated and the vendor has provided an email confirming that the treatment is complete and there is no evidence of Japanese knotweed present.
