Description
Enjoying a tucked away and secluded setting on a ½ acre plot, a well-built and maintained 1963 bungalow, in original condition.
Enjoying a tucked away setting on the edge of east Ipswich, the Rushmere Road area is a sought-after location, offering easy access to all the facilities in the town centre, as well as top performing local schools, the hospital and the surrounding countryside beyond.
Designed and built by the current architect owner in 1963, and offered for sale for the first time, the property has proved to be a wonderful family home. Well maintained throughout, No. 93, in its original presentation, offers an appealing ''retro' angle for those with such interests, whilst also presenting the potential for updating to a new purchaser's tastes.
The well laid out accommodation extends to some 2,400 sq ft and includes a spacious living room, with wide, twin aspect, full height windows overlooking the garden, and which is open plan through into the dining room. Beyond is a kitchen, utility room, playroom/study and garden room.
The bedroom wing offers four spacious double bedrooms and a smaller fifth, as well as two bath/shower rooms. The property benefits from double glazing, has its original underfloor electric heating system with the benefit of a PV solar array to offset the electrical cost. Ample boarded storage space in roof with loft ladder access. In addition, there is an interconnecting double garage with electric up and over doors, inspection pit and stores.
OUTSIDE
A long driveway leads to a circular parking sweep to the front of the house, whilst to the rear the south facing gardens are sheltered by mature evergreen hedgerows and laid mainly to a wide lawn, with herbaceous borders. There is a mature American Acacia, a fruit cage, a variety of fruit trees, together with a wooden ''Millennium' gazebo.
In all the property extends to about ½ acre.
