This elegant six/eight bedroom home offers charming original Victorian features throughout, and has been well-maintained by the current owners during their time at the property. With accommodation across three floors, the residence has enough space for all the family. Situated in a convenient location only a five-minute-walk from the town centre, all of Ipswich’s amenities are within easy walking distance, including the shops, restaurants and the railway station.

Stylish elegance To the front of the property is a roomy lounge, with huge bay windows that overlook the front garden, as well as original cornicing and an iron fireplace. Just across the hallway is a convenient study space. The kitchen allows for external access, and is spacious enough for casual dining, as well as being open plan through to a more informal family room/snug.

Victorian charm The dining room is a particularly special room, oozing with Victorian charm, with two large sash windows and a door leading outside. This room offers lovely views across the rear of the garden and is perfect for summer evenings when the doors can be flung open. This rather majestic room has previously housed a 12-seater-dining-table comfortably, making a welcoming space for special occasions with friends and family.

Elegant and light There are five bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has been used as a study by the current owners. The master suite of this property is particularly special, comprising an entire wing of the house, including a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. The bedroom is well lit by a large bay window, forming a lovely seating area or reading nook. This leads through to the dressing room, with plenty of storage space, and onto a bathroom, with a bath and separate shower, as well as double sinks. The owners tell us how much they enjoy their master suite, finding that it's a lovely space, wonderfully private from the rest of the house and a great place to relax. There is a further bathroom on this floor, as well as three bedrooms, two of which interconnect. On the second floor, are an additional three bedrooms, as well as the bathroom, with shower, bath and bidet.

Since the current owners purchased the property there have been a number of improvements. After a storm damaged the roof fifteen years ago they discovered that it was still the original roof from over a century ago and replaced it. They also added insulation throughout which retains the warmth in the winter however, the property is cool throughout the summer, the large sash windows, many of which feature Victorian glass, open to allow plenty of breeze.

A peaceful retreat The rear garden is perfectly sized for the current owners, with a lawn large enough to enjoy, whilst still being managable. The walled garden is framed by well-established trees including hazel and yew, along with a wealth of different rose species. The owner tell us how they enjoy the peace and quiet that is to be found in their garden even though they are in a convenient town location.

Well connected Situated just outside the centre of Ipswich, the property benefits of being only a five-minute walk from the high-street with a wealth of shops and restaurants. The owners tell us how everything they need is easily reachable in fifteen minutes, including the stunning Ipswich Marina, the cinema and Ipswich railway station; offering mainline services to London, Norwich and Cambridge, all within an hour. Furthermore, the home is ideally situated for schools, with St Matthews Church of England Primary School only moments away, alongside a selection of independent and state, primary and secondary schools.
