Marcus Road, Felixstowe, Suffolk, IP11

Part of our signature collection - A highly attractive mock Tudor-style detached family home of nearly 3000 sq. ft. ideally situated in one of Felixstowe's most desirable locations, close to the town centre, seafront, Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, and sailing club. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the property features an impressive 40’ kitchen/dining/family room.

This impressive home offers characterful and spacious extended accommodation, retaining many original and striking features. These include a full-length stained-glass window on the half landing, a feature fireplace in the sitting room, a balcony to one of the first-floor bedrooms, and fine oak panelling in several areas.

The grand 27' reception hall provides access to all principal rooms, oak panelling which continues to the first-floor landing and sitting room. To the front is a reception room which is currently used as a gym/study area and overlooks the driveway. Moving along the hall is the sitting room, with double doors opening onto a patio, a large box bay window, a striking feature fireplace, and a full-length internal glass window to the reception hall, allowing natural light to flow throughout. The cloakroom is located to the right of the hall and includes useful storage.

The heart of the home is the extended contemporary kitchen/dining/family room, built by Chapel Properties, which blends seamlessly with the traditional features of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke, hand-built Deben Vale kitchen, centred around an exceptional curved island. The island offers generous storage, a quirky circular corner sink, a NEFF induction hob with a hidden central extractor fan, and ample seating. Additional features include sleek black units, twin NEFF 'Slide & Hide' ovens with a warming drawer beneath, and an integrated fridge/freezer. There's also a further area with built-in storage, a wine cooler, access to the utility room, and a walk-in pantry. A door leads through to a lobby which houses a boiler room, storage and access to the garden.

The dining area is enhanced by custom-built furniture surrounding the dining table and provides ample space for sofas and relaxation. This entire area benefits from under-floor heating, three large sky lanterns, and bi-fold doors, one set by the island and another at the dining end, opening out onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, the half landing showcases the stunning original full-height stained-glass window and provides access to all bedrooms. One bedroom enjoys access to a private balcony, while the guest bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Two additional bedrooms are serviced by a modern family bathroom, which includes a Jacuzzi bath, basin, and WC. The main bedroom features a stylish, fully tiled en-suite shower room. Most bedrooms include built-in storage, and due to the unique layout, many have been custom-designed and fitted with high-quality Sliderobes wardrobes.

Outside
The property is set back from the road, occupying a private and generous plot. Double wrought-iron gates open onto a large, gravelled frontage, offering parking for numerous cars, a turning space and electric car charging point. Two deep, well-stocked shrub borders enhance the property's privacy and visual appeal. The gravel driveway continues along the right-hand side of the house, providing access to the rear garden.

The rear garden is neatly landscaped, featuring a shaped lawn, attractive flower and shrub borders, a patio area, two timber sheds and an additional summer house. The garden is largely enclosed by panel fencing and mature hedging, offering a good degree of privacy.

There is side access from the rear garden along the other side of the property, which is laid to lawn. A small decked area adjoins the kitchen, accessed via bi-fold doors, creating a lovely space for outdoor dining.


Location

In between are the award-winning Seafront Gardens and the town with a theatre, cinema, shops and plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. The town also has a wide range of recreational facilities including a leisure centre, tennis club, rugby club and cricket club.

Felixstowe South Beach and Pier were named one of only 76 Blue Flag rated beaches in England to have 'excellent' water quality for swimming, awarded by environmental charity, Keep Britain Tidy. The only beach to be awarded a Blue Flag in Suffolk, Felixstowe has been undergoing a period of regeneration and improvement over the past several years and the Pier was reopened in 2017, following a £3million makeover.
