Occupying a particularly private position within the exclusive Purdis Place development, this exceptional five-bedroom detached residence presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully appointed family home in one of Ipswich’s most sought-after locations.
Approached via a private driveway from Bucklesham Road, Purdis Place enjoys an enviable setting on the eastern outskirts of Ipswich, combining a peaceful, semi-rural feel with excellent access to the town, coast and a superb selection of schools, leisure facilities and amenities.
From the moment you arrive, the quality of this home is immediately apparent. A striking stone portico frames the impressive double entrance doors, creating a suitably grand introduction to the property. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, whilst retaining the sense of quality and individuality expected of a home of this calibre.
The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment throughout, whilst an oak staircase provides an attractive focal point to the entrance hall. An impressive open fireplace with a gas log fire further enhances the principal living space, providing a wonderful setting for both relaxed family evenings and more formal entertaining.
The accommodation extends to five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering considerable flexibility for families, guests, home working or additional reception space. The overall layout provides an excellent balance of generous living accommodation and private bedroom space, with the potential to further enhance the home having planning permission already approved for an extension.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The landscaped gardens provide a private and established setting, while the detached double garage, complete with automatic opening doors, and extensive off-road parking provide excellent provision for several vehicles.
