Set behind mature planting on Henley Road, this substantial five-bedroom detached house blends Tudor-inspired character with large modern living spaces. The ground floor offers generous reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen/diner and a versatile garden room added in 2018 that opens onto a west-facing garden and a sunken, covered swimming pool — excellent for family leisure and summer entertaining. Several multi-purpose outbuildings, a double garage and a wide driveway provide generous storage, home-office or studio potential.
Eco and running-cost benefits are already fitted: solar panels, an EV charging point and an air-source heat pump complement the mains-gas boiler and underfloor heating. These features lower energy use and add appeal for buyers wanting lower ongoing costs. The plot is large for the area and parking easily accommodates five-plus cars behind electric gates.
Important practical points: the pool, outbuildings and substantial plot present a conversion opportunity for an additional dwelling, but this would require formal planning permission. The pool and outbuildings are serviced (pump, filter, water heater) but will need routine maintenance — factor in pool upkeep and servicing costs. Council tax is noted as quite expensive compared with local averages.
This house suits a growing or multi-generational family who need space for home working, hobbies and leisure, or an investor/homeowner who can manage a planning project. The property is in a very low-crime, affluent part of Ipswich with fast broadband and good transport links, making it a practical long-term home in a desirable suburban setting.
