Double-fronted interwar house on a large plot with substantial garden room
Set on a large plot in popular East Ipswich, this double-fronted, interwar family home combines period character with recent modernisation. The ground floor has been heavily extended to create a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining/living space with bi-fold doors and a roof lantern that flow onto a well-kept garden with patio, decking, hot tub and a gated sunken swimming pool. A substantial brick garden room with power and bi-folds offers flexible indoor-outdoor use.
Upstairs offers four good-sized bedrooms, an en-suite and family bathroom, while downstairs includes an additional reception currently used as a fifth bedroom and a long playroom/office area with kitchenette — giving clear potential for an annexe (subject to planning). Practical upgrades include underfloor heating in the extension and recent re-plastering and soundproofing to upper floors.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, council tax is Band E (above average), and the area records above-average crime levels. The property’s size and layout present refurbishment opportunities and potential for home-business use or rental income, but any annexe use requires formal planning consent.
This house will suit families seeking generous living areas, outdoor entertaining space and scope to adapt rooms to changing needs. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the full plot, versatile layout and the balance of period features with modern living.
