No. 75 High Street, in its current format, is an un-modernised but structurally sound building. The property is approached over a parking forecourt with a door to the former shop with a large window and a separate side wrought iron gate leading to a covered pathway which leads through to the back of the building. Beyond the shop there is residential accommodation which includes a reception room with fireplace, and a former kitchen space with a walk-in larder and a door leading out to the rear yard. The rear concreted yard is enclosed within brick walls and incorporates raised flower beds. Steps lead up to a corner brick-built store. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, a former bathroom and a cloakroom WC.

Current accommodation comprises:

Front room shop; Reception room; Former kitchen; Three bedrooms; Former bathroom; Cloakroom WC; Patio terrace; Garden shed.

The proposed scheme, for the most part, retains the existing structure and shape of the building, and extends out the back over a single-storey. NB The proposed scheme has been fully costed and specified by a project manager and a highly reputable local builder. More details upon request.

Proposed accommodation (as per granted planning permission):

Three double bedrooms; Two bathrooms (one en-suite bathroom and one shower room); Front reception room (possibility of a fourth/occasional bedroom); Dining room; Large open-plan kitchen and reception room with bi-fold doors leading out to a terrace; Utility room; WC/cloakroom; Parking for two cars.

The Tuck Shop provides a rare opportunity for an in-coming purchaser to develop a sizable property with parking, right in the heart of Aldeburgh to their own specification. The location of no 75, with the Lighthouse restaurant next door, and within very close proximity to the supermarket, cinema, shops, restaurants and cafes means that it would lend itself perfectly to either someone looking for a principal residence or as a rather special weekend/holiday family home.

Guide price: £550,000 subject to Contract

Tenure: Freehold
