To the front of the bungalow there are lovely direct views across the road to the woodlands on the edge of the Heath and in a very quiet location with little passing traffic. The bungalow, in the same family ownership for over 60 years, has undergone some updating and improvement in recent years, but generally does now require a degree of modernisation.

The bungalow has two double size bedrooms with bay windows to the front and a delightful double aspect south and west facing lounge / diner full of sunshine and double doors directly out into the rear garden. The kitchen / breakfast room also opens directly out into the rear garden and has a fitted oven, hob and extractor fan, space for a table or breakfast bench seating and also a spacious walk-in pantry cupboard with shelving.

There is a modern replacement shower room with double size walk-in shower and also a separate W.C.

Summary Continued

Throughout the bungalow are UPVC replacement double glazed windows and doors and there are replacement plastic guttering and fascias as well.

At the front there are double metal gates opening into a long driveway leading to a detached garage with sturdy double wooden doors. The rear garden is one of the main selling features approx. 70ft in length un-overlooked from the rear and westerly facing benefitting from the sun from lunchtime onwards. There are several lovely secluded and sheltered seating areas ideal for sitting out having a morning cuppa, afternoon glass of wine or alfresco dining.

The large hallway could lend itself to the positioning of a staircase if a buyer wanted to pursue the potential for a loft conversation. This would be subject to all necessary consents and planning permissions. The boiler is only three years old within a walk-in former airing cupboard and double cupboards as well.

The position of the property is ideal for anyone with dogs, young children, golfers or mountain bikers on the picturesque Rushmere Heath. Furthermore Ipswich Hospital is virtually on the doorstep less than a five minute walk away, Broke Hall primary school, is only a 10 minute walk away and Copleston High school 15 minutes in the other direction. At the end of Heath Road at Woodbridge Road East is a row of local shops including a Co-op supermarket, bakers, florists and fruit and veg shop as well.

Having been thoroughly enjoyed for many years by the current owners at the bungalow it now awaits extremely lucky new buyers.
