Description

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a real hidden gem in the heart of east Ipswich between Freehold Road and Cowper Street. Positioned on a tucked away and very private plot with just one other semi-detached house, this magnificent Victorian character home is close to Ipswich Hospital and falls within the Copleston School catchment area. This three-bedroom semi-detached house is being sold with no onward chain and is full of original period features including high ceilings, picture rails, original fireplaces and sash windows. The property has been extended over the years so parts of it date from the early 20th century (1930’s). There is vehicular access and parking to the rear via Cowper Street and vehicular access for deliveries, taxis, etc via Freehold Road to the front. The mature gardens wraparound giving the property a very private and non-overlooked feel and in the rear garden is part of the old coachman’s house which dates back to Victorian times and has an electricity supply. This building is currently a garage and in front there is a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.

A summary of the accommodation is as follows: spacious entrance hall, dining room, 21ft sitting room with French doors opening onto a large loggia to the front with Crittall-style windows on one side, kitchen with walk-in pantry cupboard, first floor landing, three good double bedrooms, family bathroom, and separate WC.

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.
