Holbrook Lodge is a charming Grade II listed Victorian cottage set on a substantial, private plot at the southern entrance to Woolverstone. The house retains original period features and offers generous living space across two reception rooms, a study area and a large kitchen, delivering a comfortable family layout with countryside outlooks. The wrap-around gardens back onto pasture and woodland, giving high privacy and scope for outdoor living.
The property sits in a peaceful village with easy access to nearby schools, marina amenities and regular bus links into Ipswich. Interior space is generous (approximately 1,811 sq ft) with three double bedrooms on the first floor and a single bathroom; the dwelling feels larger than its footprint thanks to numerous reception areas and a glazed conservatory/sunroom.
Important practical points are clear: the Grade II listing preserves character but will restrict alterations and could complicate extensions or structural changes. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and council tax is above average. That said, the large plot and apparent good condition present opportunity for sensitive improvements or cosmetic updating, subject to listed-building consent and planning.
This cottage suits buyers who value period character, a private rural setting and proximity to strong local schools. It will particularly appeal to families or downsizers seeking tranquil village living with generous gardens and countryside views, provided they are comfortable working within listed-building constraints.
