Full description

Tenure: Freehold

THE PROPERTY A charming and most attractive DETACHED DOUBLE FRONTED FAMILY RESIDENCE dating back to the late Georgian period and occupying an elevated position in a much favoured residential location on the Eastern side of Ipswich only a short walk from the town centre. The property which is listed Grade II is of traditional brick construction with painted elevations under a slated roof and stands well back from the road screened by a private front garden and approached from street level by a crazy paved path.


The house provides well proportioned light and airy accommodation retaining much of the inherent charm and character associated with a property of this period. Formerly, there were 3 reception rooms off a conventional hallway but in recent times the sitting and dining rooms have been knocked through into one open plan living room, with a separate fitted kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the house, off which is a utility area and cloakroom with separate door to a useful cellar.

On the first floor are 5 good sized bedrooms with an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom together with a separate bathroom. 2 velux skylights provide good natural light to the landing area.

There are pleasant gardens to front and rear together with 2 useful outbuildings in a paved courtyard to the side of the house. At the rear of the property is a large red brick detached Garage and generous off road parking facilities. The Garage has full planning permission (IP/14/00143/FUL) granted in April 2014 for its conversion and extension to create a split level single storey dwelling/annexe. This would be perfect for a dependent relative or as an investment property. Alternatively, once completed the development could be sold off. This would still have adequate off road parking and space for a Car Port for the main house.

The property is very well presented and decorated throughout and we strongly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate all that this most appealing property have to offer.  

SITUATION The property is as already stated situated in a popular residential location close to the town centre. It is also convenient for access to local shops, schools including Northgate High School, Ipswich School, St Helens, St Margarets C of E and St Mary's R C Junior Schools and University Campus Suffolk. The regenerated Waterfront is also only 15 minutes walk away.

Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and as such provides all the amenities associated with one of Suffolk's largest conurbations including 2 modern shopping malls. Culturally there is much to admire - an active theatre, multiplex cinema and there is also a wide range of wine bars and restaurants. Ipswich Hospital is only a short drive from the property. For commuters, Ipswich mainline railway station with its regular inter-city service to London's Liverpool Street Station (approx. 70 minutes) is only 10 minutes by car.
