Description

Substantial Edwardian town house in a sought after location with landscaped garden and all beautifully presented.

Description

Milnthorpe House is an elegant and imposing Edwardian House boasting high ceilings and large rooms situated on one of the most sought after roads in the county town of Ipswich. The attractive buildings and grounds of Ipswich School and the gardens of Christchurch Mansion are within a very short walk of the house.

Milnthorpe House is an impressive town house that has been the subject of the most incredible modern design, resulting in a house of exceptional quality and character.

Built of mellow red brick under a clay tile roof, Milnthorpe House retains the architectural grandeur of the late Victorian era, characterised by gabled elevations, sash windows, and intricate detailing, all complemented by a stunning contemporary interior that blends timeless style with imaginative and colourful design.

Internally, the accommodation flows remarkably well. The front door opens into a generous reception hall, featuring a striking geometric tiled floor and a fine staircase rising to the upper floors. There is the main imposing staircase leading from the hall and a secondary staircase, leading upwards from the kitchen. The kitchen and breakfast room have original, restored teak parquet flooring, honed marble work surfaces, a range of units and unfitted bespoke cupboards, a range cooker, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. There is a gas wood burner in the informal dining area. The adjacent utility room houses the water softener, large tank, boiler etc in enclosed cupboards and has the washing machine, drier, storage cupboards and wall panelling. The main light-filled reception rooms have impressive ceiling heights, fireplaces and attractive views over the delightful gardens. The lower ground floor provides excellent ancillary accommodation, comprising a gym and a substantial cellar providing useful storage.

The first floor is arranged around a large central landing. The principal bedroom has views over the garden and an adjoining bathroom fitted with twin basins and a shower. The dressing room offers well designed storage and could easily be used as a bedroom again.

There is one further bedroom, adjoining bathroom and a superb study/library, ideal for home working, with three large sash windows.

The second floor provides four double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and light-filled. A further bathroom, with a bath and separate shower, serves these rooms.
