House For Sale £485,000
A substantial extended house in commanding position in one of North Ipswich's most attractive settings.
This is a substantial extended four bedroom detached character property with one of the main features being the outstanding 100' plus double width rear garden. The mature garden has an abundance of flowers, shrubs & trees & backs onto Broomhill Park & is thus totally unoverlooked from the rear.
The house itself was already spacious & has since benefited from the addition of a double storey extension to the rear & a single storey side extension. There are now two good sized reception rooms, 15'8 x 15' kitchen / breakfast room which has a superb range of handmade units & a separate walk-in pantry cupboard, plus an additional downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs the property has four double sized rooms in addition to a magnificent 16' x 8' extended double width bathroom complete with spa bath & double shower cubicle.
The property offers a wealth of character of the interwar year period & has recently under gone re-decoration to the dining room. To the front of the property you are also unoverlooked & it is one of the few houses in Westwood Avenue facing onto the magnificent green with the huge oak trees & is ideally situated less than 200 yards to Broomhill Park itself.
To the front of the house there is a block paved driveway parking for three cars plus an integral garage.
Overall the property is an excellent example of a older style character four bedroom detached house in highly sought after north Ipswich residential location. Westwood Avenue offers excellent access along Norwich Road to the A14 & in addition is less than a mile and a half into Ipswich town centre. Additionally offering easy access up the Valley Road hill towards the north-east & east of Ipswich.

Rear Garden (30.48m' + length x double width (100'' + length)
One of the main features of the property is this amazing garden which is totally unoverlooked from the rear backing onto Broomhill Park. The garden continues to be lovingly maintained by the present owners and is a haven for wildlife including many birds.
The garden has a spacious lawn, well stocked flower/shrub and bulb borders, mature established oak trees, steps up to a raised breakfast/dining area which is south facing, providing a real sun trap and big enough for a marquee.
The garden doubles in width a short way up as a result of the purchase of a large area of the neighbouring garden a number of years ago. This has made room for the side area with wooden steps leading up to a large decked area, currently occupied by the marquee and forming a superb outside eating area and a good sized wooden shed. An adjacent barbeque area has a tiled pitched roof structure and brick flooring.
To the rear of the garden you even have your own woodland area with a mass of bulbs currently coming through to provide a riot of colour. By the house there is an additional small wooden shed. There is also new fencing.
Broomhill Park Area
The property is situated in a commanding position in one of North Ipswich's most attractive settings. Westwood Avenue and Broomhill Park behind is in an area known as the Parks Character area. The area has mature woodland either side of the Valley Road which continues to remain an attractive feature today. Properties in this area are of a lower density of housing than other parts of North Ipswich and indeed the area has a more spacious feel to it. The properties offer character that is classic interwar suburban villa style with beautiful double bay windows and large overhanging eaves.
This particular property is surely in the best position in Westwood Avenue and is one of only a small handful of properties facing onto the beautiful green with the large established oak trees. Broomhill Park itself actually abuts the rear garden of this property and access into the park is just approximately 200 yards further up Valley Road. Broomhill Park, one of the smaller but more mature of the Ipswich parks, again offers a wealth of wildlife with footpaths and walks and makes this property ideal for anyone with dogs or who likes jogging, exercise, walks, etc.
