Detached house for sale in Mill Hill, Aldringham, Suffolk IP16

A fantastic potential development opportunity has arisen (subject to planning permission) in Aldringham, just a short drive to Thorpeness and Aldeburgh. Occupying a plot of half an acre (subject to survey), lies an extended three bedroom cottage which comes with a separate substantial brick-built outbuilding where the current owners have submitted a pre-planning application (DC/21/4240/preapp) in order to replace the outbuilding with a four / five bedroom new build residence (subject to planning permission being granted). The three bedroom cottage offers lovely views to the front and does require some updating and comprises front porch; entrance hall; two generous reception rooms, one of which has a large pantry cupboard; kitchen; cellar with power and light connected; first floor landing; three bedrooms; and four piece family bathroom. There is an outside utility room, the property has oil fired central heating and established gardens which surround the property.

The tranquil village of Aldringham is conveniently located less than three miles from the pretty coastal town of Aldeburgh and less than two miles from the vibrant town of Leiston. Aldringham is a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast which is well-known as being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides a wealth of footpaths through woodlands and nature reserves, and along river banks.

Leiston provides a good range of shops and amenities including a Co-op supermarket, chemists, a post office, banks, doctors and dentist surgeries, vets, library, sports centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a good selection of pubs and fast food takeaways. The town is served by a regular bus service to outlying villages and beyond and with Saxmundham’s railway station only four miles away, Ipswich and London are easily accessible.

Aldeburgh enjoys breathtaking views both seawards and following the river Alde inland towards Orford, and provides local amenities include craft, food and antiques shops, independent boutiques as well as some national chains, plus a myriad of pubs and an independent cinema.
