A rare opportunity to improve and redevelop a four-bedroom Arts and Crafts home has become available in Felixstowe.

Number 9, Riby Road will go up for sale at online auction with Clarke & Simpson on July 5 and is priced at a guide of £475,000.

A spokesperson for Clarke & Simpson describes the existing property as a “dilapidated Arts and Crafts four-bedroom house” set in around a fifth of an acre and just a short distance from the seafront.

The listing details say that the house, which is constructed in a traditional Arts and Crafts style, now warrants an extensive programme of renovation and refurbishment, including some structural faults which will need remedying.

Accommodation comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, as well as a cloakroom and spacious hall at the rear.
