Set well back from the road in a leafy, sought-after Ipswich location, this substantial 1930s detached house occupies a plot approaching one acre (subject to survey). The layout suits a large or growing family: six double bedrooms, a 22ft triple-aspect living room, dining room and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. Mature trees and established borders give exceptional privacy and scope for outdoor living and landscaping.
Practical features include two garages, ample off-street parking, a brick outbuilding with home-office potential and a 12m Rhino greenhouse with built-in hot house — useful for enthusiasts or those wanting productive gardens. The property sits a short walk from Christchurch Park, the town centre and well-regarded local schools, making daily life convenient while remaining secluded down a private driveway.
The house retains period character and substantial room proportions, but buyers should note some running costs and improvement needs. The cavity walls are uninsulated (as built), glazing dates are unknown and the property is served by mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators; upgrading insulation and windows would improve comfort and long-term running costs. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. The plot and layout offer clear renovation potential for buyers wanting to personalise and modernise.
This is a rare town plot with a family-focused layout and significant outdoor space. Viewings are recommended for those seeking a spacious, characterful home with scope to update and tailor to modern family living.
