Set on approximately a half-acre double-width plot (subject to survey), this extended five-bedroom detached house sits on the edge of Chelmondiston with the rear garden backing directly onto open fields. The accommodation includes two large reception rooms, a dual-aspect study, modern kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor and an impressive first-floor master suite with walk-in dressing area and four-piece en-suite.
The house has been updated with practical, energy-focused systems: 12 solar PV panels with two storage batteries, a replaced solar hot water system (2025), and an electric infrared heating system. A new roof was fitted in 2024 and the property benefits from an integral garage, separate workshop, and ample off-road parking. Security and safety features include intruder alarms, internal camera, monitored alarm service, fire and carbon monoxide detectors.
This home will suit a family seeking rural space and good local amenities — village primary school, shops, pub and recreational clubs are nearby, while Ipswich is around a 15-minute drive. There is also scope for further extension or development subject to planning permission and survey confirmation of plot size.
Practical points to note: heating is electric-based, which may affect running costs compared with mains gas properties; broadband speeds are average for the area; the property dates from the 1950s–60s and, while well-maintained, may present typical upkeep and modernisation needs in places. Prospective buyers should confirm plot boundaries, development potential and service contracts during due diligence.
