3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Colchester Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP4

Occupying a fantastic plot with an incredible garden, outbuildings and annex, this family home is a true gem to market.

This 3 bedroom semi-detached double bay fronted home offers a traditional layout, with welcoming entrance hall with separate front facing living room with bay window and open fireplace, dining room with patio doors to the rear garden, and rear facing kitchen with underfloor heating.

Upstairs is the traditional box bay window fronted master bedroom with exposed wooden flooring, two further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

It's the plot of this home which is the true showstopper, the garden is of a fantastic length, mainly laid to lawn with a path leading to the rear of the garden, alongside raised sleepers and a paved BBQ patio area to the rear. At the end of the garden, look left and you'll see a fantastic outbuilding with annex potential. The annex style outbuilding is currently used half as a garden room, and half as a storage area, but it could easily be knocked through to make this one open space. There is power and lighting connected already.

In the garden, there is a second outbuilding, currently used as a workshop, as well as the separate brick built garage at the end of the driveway.

The owners have had full planning permission granted for rear and side extensions and plans are available to view on viewing. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to really put their stamp on their new home and extend it to suit them.

To the front, the home offers driveway parking for multiple vehicles. There is a gate to the side which offers access into the garden and can be opened to allow further cars to park, leading up to the garage.
