Set on a large plot in the sought-after village of Rushmere St. Andrew, this detached four-bedroom bungalow offers generous single-storey living and significant potential. The property includes an annexe (former double garage) with bedroom, kitchenette and en-suite — useful for guests, home working or rental income after refurbishment. A south-facing rear garden and wide block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking complete the practical outdoor spaces.
The interior is spacious but dated throughout and requires modernisation to meet contemporary standards. Accommodation includes a dual-aspect sitting/dining room, extensive kitchen, family room with patio access, three further bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom. Textured ceilings and mid-20th-century fittings are evident; buyers should allow time and budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms and general decorative work.
Practical considerations: the sale is a probate sale and is being offered chain free, so exchange cannot take place until probate is granted. Council Tax Band F should be factored into ongoing running costs. Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity are connected; EPC rating noted as D. There is no flood risk and the area has very low crime and fast broadband speeds.
This bungalow will suit growing or multigenerational families seeking single-storey accommodation with scope to extend or personalise, downsizers wanting spacious rooms, or investors prepared to refurbish. Its position close to popular schools, local amenities and Ipswich town centre adds day-to-day convenience and long-term appeal.
