*** guide price: £800,000 to £850,000 ***

Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this magnificent 1930’s six-bedroom detached house occupying a plot of one acre (subject to survey) in one of the most sought-after parts of Ipswich, just a short walk from Christchurch Park, the town centre and Ipswich School which is a highly rated public school. This substantial family home is tucked away down a private driveway off Valley Road and a plot of this size in the town is rarely available, so early viewing is essential. The grounds wrap around the property as it sits in the middle of the plot and comes with a 12 metre Rhino Greenhouse with built-in hot house, two garages, ample off-road parking, and a brick-built outbuilding which could be converted into a work-from-home office / studio.

A summary of the property is as follows: Grand reception hall, two ground floor cloakrooms and ground floor shower room, 22ft triple aspect living room, 17ft dual aspect dining room, spacious kitchen / breakfast room, impressive galleried landing, six good size double bedrooms, family bathroom, and a shower room.

The county town of Ipswich offers a range of local amenities including schools, university, shops, doctors, dental surgeries, hospital, two theatres, parks including the popular Orwell Country Park, recreational facilities, and mainline railway station providing direct links to London Liverpool Street Station with a journey time of approximately 1hr 15mins. The vibrant waterfront has undergone an extensive rebuilding and gentrification programme and now boasts some fashionable bars and restaurants, together with the University of Suffolk.
