Set on about one-third of an acre in peaceful Woolverstone, this extended 1800s cottage-style home combines period character with roomy, flexible living. The house offers four double bedrooms (option for a ground-floor bedroom), three/four reception rooms and a generous kitchen/dining space, suited to family life and entertaining. A main bedroom en-suite and a separate utility and cloakroom add everyday convenience.
Outdoors is a major draw: mature, private gardens with patio areas, direct woodland borders and open farmland views. A purpose-built outside office, detached garage and a separate parcel across the lane providing additional off-road parking increase the property's versatility for home working, vehicles and storage.
Practical considerations are straightforward and honest. The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators; broadband speeds are very slow locally and drainage is private. Walls are original solid brick with no assumed modern insulation, so there is potential both to improve energy performance and to add value with targeted upgrades. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, aspect and layout fully.
The home suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural setting with easy access to Ipswich and local schools; it will particularly appeal to families and those wanting countryside space plus a home office. The plot and flexible accommodation also present potential for refurbishment or extension subject to planning.
