The Beeches, Little Blakenham, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP8

The small hamlet village of Little Blakenham is surrounded by undulating farmland with attractive countryside walks. The large villages of Claydon and Bramford offer a much wider range of shopping and recreational facilities. The A14 is only a short distance giving a direct link to the county town of Ipswich offering a wide range of facilities including mainline railway link to London's Liverpool Street. The A14 trunk road offers access in an easterly direction to the A12 and Felixstowe and in a westerly direction to Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and on to the Midlands. Little Blakenham offers a church, community hall, children's play park, football field, café and shop, and a regular bus service which includes a free school bus to Claydon Primary and High School.

This deceptive modern house is beautifully presented throughout offering good sized accommodation. Recently extended to provide home office and study spaces which could be flexibly adapted for utility/play rooms/snug, the sitting room is of good proportions with large window to the front providing good amounts of natural light, leading to the separate dining room via new French doors and conservatory which overlooks the secluded garden. On the first floor a spacious landing gives access to three good size bedrooms and family bathroom. Further benefits include three designated car parking spaces plus garage with electric and installed electric car charging point, double glazing, recent brand-new roof and recently installed oil-fired central heating system. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the size and quality of the accommodation.

Owners comment:

Our house at The Beeches has been a wonderful home for us, nestled in the centre of Little Blakenham it has been a much-loved family home. Near enough to enjoy all the amenities of nearby Ipswich and surrounding villages very quickly but set slightly apart to enjoy the peace and relaxation of the surrounding countryside with public footpaths through undulating countryside right from the front door. Little Blakenham has a thriving church and community hall, recently opened café and shop and the world famous Blakenham Woodland Garden within a 5-minutes walk of the house. Our home has been an absolute joy in the years we have been here and indeed it is with an element of sadness we are leaving, but we have various commitments which mean we need to move on. The views from the windows have been a delight, whether it is watching the wildlife or viewing the trees and countryside around us. Having an end of cul-de-sac location means we hear no passing traffic, the peace and quiet has been bliss and the neighbours are lovely. We have also enjoyed the accessibility to an array of shops, including town, and the A14. In the spring and summer nature can be seen in all its glory and the array of beautiful flowers, trees and corn fields in the area really are magnificent. We have enjoyed renovating and extending the house to a high-standard to make it a home that we have loved and enjoyed spending time in, and have relished spending time in our secluded garden, sectioning off seating areas to enjoy the sun at all times of the day, this house has lived up to our expectations and so much more.
