| Description |
This gas centrally-heated family home has great potential for further extension and development. Rarely, these days, do you get a property that allows you to enjoy the same space inside as outside – with this one you do!
Situated in a much sort after area, it is near to shops, good schools, heath walks and a 24hr bus service. The bus service enables you to reach Ipswich Station in 15 minutes and London in approx. 1hr. The beautiful Suffolk Constable countryside and coast are both on your doorstep. There are great community activities in both Rushmere St Andrew and Kesgrave including sports clubs, Pre-school groups and a great cycle-path system. Ipswich is a 7 minute drive away.
Currently used as two reception rooms; kitchen; cloakroom and small utility area, there are two further double bedrooms, a good sized single and a family bathroom. Whilst this is the current configuration there is ample opportunity for you to change things around very easily.
The Layout
The flexible layout of rooms in the property lends itself to a diversity of lifestyles and the ever-changing needs of a family. Whether you are looking for a ready-made home or the opportunity to stamp your own individuality on a property, this could be the one for you.
DOWNSTAIRS
Entrance Hall: 7’ x 10’
Double-glazed window, ceramic floor tiles, with phone and two electric sockets. It's size allows for generous storage and this is increased by a useful understair cupboard.
Bedroom 1: 10’ x 10’
This is a very sunny double bedroom with a large double-glazed window and radiator. Ideal for visiting relatives who find stairs difficult or teens that just want to roll in late!
Kitchen: 9’ x12’
At the centre of the home this room has a double-glazed window to the side of the property and views to the garden. There are both gas and electricity supplies to the room and radiator. Plumbing for a dishwasher is in place and there is plenty of workspace.
Lounge: 12’ x 12’
The room has a working fire, a large window looking out to the garden, TV socket and three double electric sockets. Two alcoves give good storage space and, as throughout the house, the decoration adds to the airy, light feel. A great adult or family space that could easily be extended outwards without compromising the garden area.
Family/Dining Room: 12’ x 15’
A great room with four electric sockets, two radiators, one window and patio doors. With access from the kitchen and to both the garden and the downstairs cloakroom, this room is a really useful space that allows for both informal and formal dining, family get togethers, play and chilling out. The patio doors look out to the garden and flood the space with light.
Downstairs Cloakroom: 7’ x 4’
A good-sized ‘little’ room that provides a very useful service! No need for a mad dash up stairs when outside as there is separate access to this room via a side door to the property.
Utility Area/Side Entrance
This use of space for a washing machine is also a good boots and shoe ‘dump’ allowing for dirty outdoor wear to be stored or pets to be cleaned down.
UPSTAIRS
The landing has 5 doors off it - airing cupboard plus the family bathroom and three further bedrooms. There is also a double-glazed window, electric socket and ladder access to the loft.
Family Bathroom: 6’ x 9’
The room is a good size with bath and over-bath shower, sink unit and W.C.. The large double-glazed frosted window unit creates a bright sunny room.
Bedroom 2: 12’ x 12’
This is the largest bedroom and it faces the front of the property. It has a large double-glazed window unit and as Bedroom 1, enjoys the sun all day. A very good sized double room with three double sockets.
Bedroom 3: 11’ x 9’
A lovely garden aspect is the main asset of this bedroom as you can look out onto the mature trees and shrubs and enjoy the birdlife from the comfort of indoors. This is a light, open room with large double-glazed windows. It is a good double-bed size with two double sockets and potential for en-suite as there is a plumbing connection in place but not currently used.
Bedroom 4: 7’ x 9’
A deceptively good size for a single room as it has housed a double bed at times! The extra space in the alcove (3’ x 2.5’), provides a good wardrobe or study area and should you want a nursery – it’s ideal!
The Loft
Running the full length of the house this is a real asset. Boarded, (85%) it is divided into two areas. One area is a ‘den’ with electricity and light supply and can be a great hideaway for children and adults! The other, larger space, also with electricity supply, is storage heaven.
OUTSIDE
There is a single garage and parking for a further two vehicles as well as parking on the road in the Close. The garden to the front is well established with shrubs, bulbs and plants that give colour all year round. The lawn is small but curvaceous.
The back garden provides an oasis of calm with small wildlife pond, fruit trees, Silver Birch, Holly and Oak trees amongst the specimens to be found. There is enough lawn for a kick about and the patio area is ideal for BBQs and outside entertaining. A good sized shed supplies the room for tools and trikes whilst a winding path invites you to adventure into the ‘secret’ garden. Visitors to the garden include woodpeckers, hedgehogs, blue tits, robins, squirrels and bullfinches, so budding Attenboroughs are well catered for.
The overall plot is 40’ x 115’ which means that extending the house further, either sideways or to the back, is possible. This can be done without compromising the outdoor living area. Many houses in the Close have already been extended providing six bedrooms and extra reception areas. Planning permission should therefore be no problem.
