Light-filled living a short walk to Christchurch Park.
Five bedrooms and versatile first-floor study/bedroom five
Set back and slightly elevated on Westerfield Road, this handsome 1920s red-brick detached house sits within easy walking distance of Christchurch Park and Ipswich School. The property delivers generous, light-filled rooms across three floors, high ceilings, and a well-fitted kitchen with bespoke Orwell cabinetry. A large, enclosed rear garden, block-paved driveway and detached garage provide practical outdoor space and off-street parking.
Internally the house is presented with period character alongside modern upgrades: large double-glazed windows, a sensible mains-gas heating system and an insulated attic room. Accommodation includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a flexible first-floor study/bedroom and several reception rooms that suit family living or multi-use working space. The home is chain-free and benefits from very low local crime rates, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
A few practical points to note: the property’s solid brick walls were built pre-1930 and are assumed to have no cavity wall insulation, which could be considered for improved energy performance; the EPC currently rates the house as C. The entrance hall and some mid-20th-century fittings show signs that small updates would enhance presentation to personal taste. Council tax is described as expensive, reflecting the area and property size.
Overall, this Edwardian detached house will appeal to families seeking generous proportions near top local schools and green space, or buyers looking for a period home with modern conveniences already in place. The combination of formal reception rooms, versatile bedroom layout and a private garden make it straightforward to move in and adapt over time.
