Summary - OFFTON LODGE OFFTON IPSWICH IP8 4SF
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious four‑bed detached with large gardens, double garage and planning permission for annexe.
Outstanding far‑reaching countryside views
Set just off the road on the edge of Somersham, this striking detached house delivers generous, well‑proportioned living across a converted‑barn style layout and makes the most of far‑reaching countryside views. The ground floor offers flexible living with two double bedrooms, a shower room, a large sitting room and a broad open-plan kitchen/dining area that flows to a bright garden room and terraces — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Upstairs the galleried landing leads to a generous master suite with ensuite and extensive windows framing the vista, plus a further double bedroom. The property sits in attractive, largely private wraparound gardens planted with mature specimen trees and well‑stocked borders. Practical benefits include a double detached garage with electric roller door, ample parking and a greenhouse/lean‑to. Planning permission has been recently granted for annexe accommodation, offering immediate scope to extend living space or create ancillary rental/guest accommodation.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house uses oil‑fired heating with underfloor heating and has private drainage (Klargester). The EPC is rated E and council tax is in Band G, so running costs are higher than average. There is a high flooding risk for the location — this is important to check with insurers and surveyors. Despite these considerations, the property’s size, adaptable layout and position in an affluent rural area present strong appeal for families or purchasers seeking countryside living within commuting distance of Ipswich.
For those seeking extra potential, the loft and the granted annexe consent offer sensible renovation opportunities subject to consents. The home is presented as a solid, characterful property with clear scope to personalise and modernise energy performance over time.
