4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious 4-bed period family house opposite Christchurch Park with huge garden and parking.
Opposite Christchurch Park with parkland views
A grand Victorian detached house directly opposite 80 acres of Christchurch Park, offering substantial living space across multiple floors. The property retains fine period details — high ceilings, sash windows, cast-iron fireplaces and stripped wood floors — combined with a bespoke kitchen, large reception rooms and generous bedroom space, ideal for a growing family wanting character and room to breathe.
The mature, predominantly south-facing garden and huge plot provide privacy, outdoor living and space for children or entertaining; twin gated driveway offers extensive off-street parking. Practical spaces include a utility room and lower-ground storage, while key conveniences — Ipswich town centre, mainline station and top local schools (including Ipswich School and St Margaret’s) — are within easy reach.
Important considerations: the home sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation, which may concern some buyers. Council Tax is Band G and described as quite expensive; the EPC is listed as tbc. The house dates from the 19th century and, while well maintained by the current owner, buyers should expect typical period maintenance and potential updating in places.
Overall this is a distinctive family home that combines rare scale and period charm with excellent location by the park. It will suit buyers seeking a spacious, character-filled freehold property close to schools and transport, willing to accept the area-wide social challenges and higher running costs.
