The ground floor offers a welcoming sense of space and flow, comprising a bright sitting room, formal dining room, and a charming breakfast room that opens seamlessly into the kitchen — a layout perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining. Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom, and a separate first-floor cloakroom with W/C.

This wonderful home is ideally situated within the catchment area for the highly regarded Copleston and Northgate High Schools (subject to availability) and is also conveniently located for Suffolk College. The county town of Ipswich provides a wealth of amenities including shops, schools, theatres, a hospital, and parks, with the popular Orwell Country Park close by. The vibrant, redeveloped waterfront area offers a selection of restaurants, cafés, and bars alongside the University of Suffolk. For commuters, Ipswich’s mainline railway station offers direct links to London Liverpool Street, making this an ideal base for those needing easy access to the capital.

A truly special home combining period elegance, modern convenience, and an enviable location — and with no onward chain, it’s ready and waiting for its next chapter. Early internal viewing is strongly advised.
