Summary - 68, HIGH STREET IP31 2HJ
4 bed 2 bath Town House
Large character house with parking, garden and scope for improvement in central Ixworth.
Grade II listed Georgian townhouse with extensive historic timber framing
This Grade II listed, four-bedroom Georgian townhouse offers almost 3,000 sq ft of characterful living in the heart of Ixworth. Historic features are abundant — exposed timber framing dating to the 16th century, an inglenook fireplace, bowed shop windows to the front and high-status period detailing — giving the house strong curb appeal and a compelling sense of place for a family or buyer seeking village character.
The flexible layout includes three reception rooms, a garden room, cellar, pantry, and two shower/bathroom facilities, plus a first-floor room currently used as a kitchen that could return to a bedroom. Formerly a restaurant with change-of-use largely completed, the property presents straightforward options for reconfiguring reception space into an open-plan kitchen/living area (subject to consents) or reinstating residential kitchen accommodation.
Outside there is a low-maintenance southeast-facing rear terrace garden, separate outbuilding with utility room, a former garage/workshop store and off-street parking for a couple of vehicles accessed from Crown Lane. These practical elements suit family life and ease day-to-day running in a popular village with schools and services close by.
Important practical notes: the listing status will restrict some alterations and may complicate consent for works; broadband speeds are limited locally; and the house, while well presented, offers clear scope for improvement and modernisation in places. Buyers seeking a character-rich home with development potential and village convenience will find genuine value here, but should budget time and costs for listed-building consent and any refurbishment works.
