One
of the benefits of being the owner and Managing Director of Jonathan Waters
Estate Agents is that I am able to be selective as to which properties I
actually personally go and see myself.
As
our exclusive homes division gets closer to its launch I shall be lucky enough
to be seeing more and more properties at the higher end of the market and my
favourite style of property are older style with plenty of character.
I
was therefore honoured to be visiting a gorgeous looking, tudor style, dutch
gable semi detached character property in one of Ipswich’s sought after
locations early last week.
This
four bedroom semi detached property was originally constructed in 1928 and has
been owned by the same family for the last 45 years.
Not
only is the property offering loads of character it is just north of
Christchurch Park and as such, properties like this come up once in a blue
moon.
Highly
unusually for older style properties in the Christchurch Park district is the
fact that this has a huge driveway area with space for at least six average
length vehicles plus a detached garage and is set well back from the road with
a 67’ front garden.
I
have never seen a semi detached property quite like this in the Ipswich area
and there are two pairs of semi detached houses here, the one we are selling is
apparently the last one of the four to be constructed.
I
have seen a detached version similar to this in Bucklesham Road in
Ipswich. The owners believe these may be
one of the only ones of its style in the country.
We
are intrigued to know if there is a story behind why these properties were
built in this style so if anybody can shed any light on the history of Ipswich
about this time and how these properties came to be built like they are I would
be most grateful.
Estate
agency in Ipswich certainly has its perks and seeing a property like this is
definitely one of them.
The
property is full of character including panelled internal doors, cornice
coving, high lip skirting boards to some rooms and a beautiful leaded light and
stained glass feature window between the landing and the bathroom.
The
property is currently being offered for sale with the benefit of no chain
involved and has also undergone a number of improvements and upgrades over
recent years. However, the vendors have
been careful to ensure these were done with great sympathy to the character and
age of this period property.
There
are extensive fitted appliances in the kitchen, the whole property benefits
from gas central heating with a recently replaced boiler and also uPVC style
replacement double glazing including, to the front, the leaded light top lights
to match the original windows.
Another
unusual aspect for a Christchurch Park district property is the large rear
garden, 112’ in length with a rear patio area to benefit from the sun at the
end of the day and a further patio area by the rear of the house to benefit
from its south east facing aspect at the early part of the day.
The
property can be found proceeding out of town along Westerfield Road going
passed Christchurch Park on your left.
Proceed passed the junction of Park Road and the property is situated
250 yards further on opposite woodland adjacent to Victoria Nurseries.
At
£395,000 this family home will represent an opportunity for someone seeking a
character property in this part of Ipswich.
If
you would like to view further details and photographs of this property contact
us. But be quick, we are receiving early
interest in this property due to its rarity.
