4 bed detached house for sale

Blake Avenue, Shotley Gate, Ipswich, Suffolk IP9

A generous 4/5 bedroom detached family home situated in a quiet cul de sac location in Shotley Gate, located just 10 minutes' walk to the Marina and Pier.

This beautiful home has been modernised downstairs over the last few years, particularly with the addition of a horseshoe style kitchen layout Wren kitchen in 2020 with stunning quartz worktop, breakfast bar area, 2 ovens, induction hob and composite tap with feature boiling water tap.

The ground floor accommodation has been adjusted with the addition of a porch in 2000, leading into the entrance hall. The living room boasts a box bay window to the front and leads into the dining area. The kitchen is a fantastic space, with adjoining utility room and WC, with converted garage reception room currently used as an additional bedroom. The home offers a flexible layout offering scope to knock through the kitchen into this front reception room and create an incredible open plan kitchen/diner.

Upstairs, the home needs a little modernisation and could benefit from cosmetic upgrading, new carpets and updated bathroom suites, but would suit a family looking to put their own stamps and tastes on their bedrooms. The layout is traditional, with master bedroom and ensuite with built in wardrobes, second bedroom over the garage with a range of built in storage, and the third and fourth bedrooms of a similar size, lending themselves to a nursery or office space.

Externally, the home is at the end of a quiet cul de sac and faces onto hedgerows. There is ample driveway parking to the front and side access to the low maintenance garden to the rear.

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood near the coast, you'll enjoy the mix of suburban living while being just a short distance from local amenities and well regarded schooling options. The home has easy access to the A12 and A14, meaning commuting to the larger towns of Ipswich or Colchester are easy. With bus links, Shotley Gate provides great transport links to nearby towns, villages and rail stations in Ipswich.
