Spacious single‑storey home on 0.85 acre; big garages and strong remodelling potential.
Chain free but sold as a probate sale
Set in approximately 0.85 acre of predominantly south‑west facing grounds, this mid‑20th century detached bungalow offers a rare, secluded plot on the eastern outskirts of Ipswich. The single‑storey layout, sunroom and large reception spaces provide an immediate comfortable home, while the extensive grounds, woodland area and multiple outbuildings create strong scope for remodelling and extension (subject to consents).
The property is chain‑free but being sold as a probate sale, so exchange cannot occur until a full grant of probate is obtained. The house requires renovation throughout — updates to finishes and probable modernisation of services will be needed to unlock its full potential. Note the property currently has a private drainage system and part double glazing; the condition of the boiler and some internal fittings may require attention.
Practical advantages include an attached double garage with electric roll up door and internal access, a second detached double garage with inspection pit (useful for hobbyists or extra storage), additional block store, greenhouse and summerhouse. The plot’s size, village location near Nacton shores, easy access to Orwell Park and other schools, plus good commuter links to Ipswich and the A14, will appeal to families and buyers wanting rural privacy with town links.
This is a substantial opportunity for a buyer prepared to renovate: create a contemporary single‑level family home, a downsizing executive residence, or a project for long‑term value gain. Be aware of council tax band F and the requirement to progress through probate before completion.
