Nestled in historic private grounds, formerly a nunnery and girls' school, the site was bought by Hopkins Homes in 2002 who developed the woodland setting into the outstanding development it is today.

The garden gate leads to the car port and additional parking.
About the area
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.

seller insight
"When we first viewed the property 15 years ago we were wonderfully surprised to find an enclave of such handsome houses, so close to the busy Woodbridge Road but within a wonderfully calm and secluded woodland setting. The positioning of the houses around an attractive green space was reminiscent of a London Square and added to the elegance of the development."
"Conveniently placed for our jobs in Martlesham Heath, the house is only a short walk via the woodland path to the Waterfront where we have spent many happy evenings enjoying the wine bars and restaurants on offer. Our children have had an idyllic childhood growing up here and we have made many friends. Now as our children have left home, bar one, it is time to move on and let another family enjoy a remarkably capacious house."
