House For Sale £875,000
This home really does sit with such a place of grandeur on a superb plot in this highly sought after area of Ipswich. With the potential to adapt and modernise it into a fantastic family home, we highly recommend a viewing.
Ground floor accommodation main residence and annex Set back from the road, this detached home, which is currently a main residence with a two storey annex could easily be adapted back into one home and is ready for the new owners to create their forever home.
The gravelled driveway, with lawns and established shrubbery to both sides leads to the property and provides ample parking for at least eight cars. There is the further benefit of there being a double garage for additional storage or parking.
The main door leads through to the entrance lobby which, with its exposed brickwork and solid oak door into the main entrance hall, immediately has a feeling of character. There is a window into the formal lounge and a connecting door to the annex.
Complementing the solid oak door, the entrance hall has oak flooring and a door leads off to the cloakroom.
The kitchen is ideal for those who enjoy cooking or baking and with the further benefit of an island unit, there really is no shortage of worksurface space. There is a Neff four ring gas hob, with Neff electric oven and microwave. With dual aspect windows and a superb outlook over the superb, established rear gardens, this room oozes natural light. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and an integrated fridge. Leading off from here is a door to the side conservatory which is currently being used as an area for the owners large fridge freezer, however this room could easily be adapted into a boot room, utility or breakfast room (stc). As it stands, there are doors from here leading out into the rear garden.
For more intimate or formal meals, the dining room is not only the perfect area for family or friends to gather, with the recessed cupboard and walk in pantry, this room also has fantastic additional storage. Again, this reception room could be adapted into a playroom for those younger children and who prefer more modern, open plan living (stc).
The lounge has the original fireplace with a slate hearth and filed surround. The gas log effect fire gives this room a cosy ambience for the colder months. There are two feature recessed arches, giving this room a focal feature. The two large windows to the rear ensure there is natural light seeping into this room. Doors from here lead through to the Conservatory which, with its underfloor heating really is a room that can be used throughout the year. There is a built in cupboard for further storage. This is another example of how flexible the accommodation within this home is. This room is so versatile in its uses and with French doors leading out onto the rear garden, it can somewhere to enjoy during the warmer months with the doors wide open, whilst listening to the birds or alternatively a child's playroom to keep the formal lounge somewhere for the adults to enjoy without being surrounded by toys!
As it currently stands, this home has a separate annex, however, as mentioned, this could easily be adapted to be part of the main residence and thus providing more reception rooms or ground floor space. As it current stands, the ground floor to the annex has a connecting door from the main houses entrance.
There is a lounge which has a brick fireplace with log effect electric fire. Leading off from here is the inner lobby with door to the cloakroom. Also leading off from the lounge is a door to the kitchen which has a Neff four ring gas hob and electric oven, space for a fridge and space and plumbing for a washing machine.
First floor accommodation - main residence and annex In the main residence, stairs lead to a half landing with dual aspect windows. There is a built in airing cupboard. The master bedroom has a range of fully fitted wardrobes, three of which have mirror fronted doors. There is also a matching dressing table and cupboards. Leading off from here is the en suite bathroom which has a Jacuzzi corner bath and double shower unit. There are two further bedrooms, one of which has a built in wardrobe and elevated views over the rear gardens. There is also the house bathroom.
Within the annex accommodation there is a well proportioned bedroom with dual aspect windows and an en suite bathroom.
Outside This home is a gardener's paradise or equally perfect for those with children, pets or who work from home. Sitting on a larger than average plot, particularly to the rear there is a lovely feeling of maturity and establishment. Lawns to either side of the driveway to the front are totally enclosed by mature shrubs.
There is an outside boiler room which services the main residence as well as an office which has central heating and electric making it perfect for those who want to keep their work life separate to their home life. A path and gate provide access to the rear garden where there is a shaped patio area ideal for those who enjoy basking in the sun or entertaining friends and family with a spot of al fresco dining. There is also an additional patio area where there is a garden shed. The rear garden is predominantly lawned with a range of mature trees, shrubs and borders. There is also a fishpond with fountain. Feeling like the "secret garden", pathways lead to a further lawned area where there are a variety of young fruit trees, conifers, a greenhouse, an additional orchard area and within this area, you just know the children will love its seclusion and somewhere to play hide and seek.
Location On the ever popular East side of Ipswich, this home is perfectly placed for those who may work at Ipswich Hospital, which is only a short distance away. There is an array of supermarkets, convenience shops and main retailers close by. For the commuter, there are easy links to the A14, A12 and Ipswich Railway Station.
