Property description
Description A handsome bay fronted detached Victorian residence offering much charm and character pleasantly situated within a highly sought after location to the north of Ipswich opposite Christchurch Park. The property has undergone a comprehensive and sensitive refurbishment programme enhancing some of the fine period features which combine perfectly with a contemporary high specification finish.
The accommodation comprises: Entrance hall, living room, dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, cellar, two stairs raising to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, en-suite to master bedroom, cloakroom, family bathroom and a further staircase raising to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, box room and shower room.
The property benefits from some fine period features including sash windows, moulded cornicing, feature staircase and picture rails. Further benefits include gas central heating, stylishly appointed bathroom suites, tastefully presented decor and luxuriously fitted kitchen/breakfast room along with dining area with patio doors opening to the rear garden.
Outside the property is set back from the road with a gravelled driveway providing turning space, parking and access to a single garage. Side access leads to the private good sized rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders along with a patio.
Situation The thriving town of Ipswich is set on the estuary of the River Orwell and has undergone an extensive gentrification programme in recent years, mainly around the waterfront and has become a popular “commutable” town to London. Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and offers a wide variety of shopping, commercial and leisure facilities including a full range of sports clubs and societies, restaurants and high street stores. There is an excellent choice of schooling within both the state and private sectors.
Excellent sailing and golfing facilities are both available nearby or on the popular Suffolk Heritage Coast. Ipswich provides good access to various road networks via the A12 to the South with links to London and the M25 and via the A14 to The Midlands and M11. The railway station provides mainline railway links to London’s Liverpool Street with an approximate journey time of sixty-five minutes.
