IP1 4EG
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Character-filled five-bed on two-thirds acre, walking distance to Ipswich School and park.
Five bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill en-suite and family bathroom
An imposing mock-Tudor residence on Valley Road, this 1935 home sits on approximately two-thirds of an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds with woodland, meandering paths and topiary. The house offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms (one jack-and-jill en-suite) and four reception rooms including a large oak-panelled galleried hall, study and a modern open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with pantry and conservatory access. A detached double garage and long gravel driveway with electric gates provide extensive parking and turning space.
Period detail and generous room proportions are strong selling points: panelled walls, oak floors, fireplaces, timber framing and a striking stairhall give the house character and presence. The plot and location are excellent for families — easy walking distance to Ipswich School and Christchurch Park, with good road links to the A12/A14 and Ipswich station. There is immediate privacy from mature screening and a large paved patio and water feature for outdoor living.
Practical considerations are factual and important: the property was re-roofed in 2010 and is double-glazed, but being built in 1935 some elements will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating to meet modern standards. The listing notes two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families without further adaptation. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed. The sale is chain free, which supports a straightforward transaction.
This house will suit buyers seeking a character family home with substantial grounds and scope to personalise. It’s ideal for those who want proximity to top local schools and town amenities, and who value a large, private plot with mature landscaping and period architecture.
