This extended 1930s semi-detached house offers generous family accommodation across two floors, with five bedrooms and flexible living space. The large open-plan kitchen/diner and dual reception rooms provide room for daily family life and entertaining, while the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite. A rear outlook over Portal Woods and proximity to heathland walks bring a strong sense of space and nature to the plot.
Practical features include off-street parking for multiple cars, a garage, utility room and substantial rear garden with workshop/storage options — useful for families who need storage or a hobby space. The property is freehold, double glazed (post-2002) and heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators; there is no flood risk and the area is very low crime.
Buyers should note this is a 1930s-built home with traditional layout and character features; some updating may be desired to modernise bathrooms and kitchen finishes to personal taste. There are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which could be a consideration for larger families or those wanting additional en-suite facilities. Local primary provision is mixed: nearby Gorseland Primary requires improvement while other nearby schools are rated good or outstanding.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family house in a very affluent, well-connected part of Martlesham Heath, suited to growing families who value outdoor access, parking and flexible living space, and who are prepared to undertake modest modernisation if required.
