An Elegant 1930s Residence on Park Road, Ipswich – Moments from Christchurch Park

Set discreetly back from one of Ipswich’s most sought-after roads, this distinguished 1930s detached residence offers refined family living in an enviable setting north of Christchurch Park. A rare opportunity to acquire a period home of such scale and charm, this handsome property effortlessly marries timeless architectural detail with tasteful modern comforts.

Accessed via a private gravelled driveway, the property sits gracefully within mature, landscaped grounds, offering privacy, tranquillity, and generous outdoor space to the front and rear. The home itself, of traditional brick construction with rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, exudes character from the moment of arrival.

Internally, the accommodation is expansive and beautifully proportioned, extending to over 2,500 sq ft. The welcoming entrance hall, with its solid wood flooring and original dado rail, sets the tone for the home’s understated elegance. Three principal reception rooms, including a formal sitting room with a feature fireplace and a bright conservatory, provide versatile living space ideal for both entertaining and family life.

The heart of the home lies in the kitchen – a thoughtfully designed space featuring granite worktops, premium appliances including Siemens and Neff fittings, and a walk-in pantry. French doors lead to the garden, offering a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, including a splendid dual-aspect principal suite with fitted wardrobes and stripped pine flooring. The second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms feature built-in storage and charming period touches. A well-appointed family bathroom and additional cloakroom complete the first floor.

The gardens are a true highlight: To the front, manicured lawns and a paved terrace are framed by mature trees and a small woodland copse, while the rear garden is laid mainly to lawn

The property also benefits from solar panels with an integrated storage battery system, delivering improved energy efficiency and reduced utility costs—an increasingly valuable feature for environmentally conscious living without compromising on style or comfort.

Further features include gas-fired central heating, UPVC double-glazed windows throughout, ample off-road parking, and a detached garage.
