A highly impressive and extremely spacious quadruple bay detached late Victorian / Edwardian house offering nearly 1800 sq.ft. of accommodation in highly sought after East Ipswich location.
The property in a previous life may have been used as an HMO as there are en-suite facilities to three of the four bedrooms plus the sitting room but this could be a truly substantial and impressive character family home. If any enquiries regarding HMO buyers will be requested to make their own investigations as to the possibility of this being put back to HMO usage.
Six years ago the current seller installed complete uPVC double glazed windows by IronGlaze in Victorian sash window style in total keeping and sympathetic to the period of the property.
Furthermore the property benefits from gas central heating system throughout by a modern regularly serviced boiler.
Summary Continued - Situated on a very large plot the property has a driveway to the left that leads to the rear garden with ample rear parking in the garden which is completely un-overlooked from the rear.
Downstairs there are two large front reception rooms plus a separate dining room, a spacious kitchen and utility room behind. There is currently an en-suite from the second reception room and an additional downstairs cloakroom accessed off the reception hallway.
Upstairs are four double size bedrooms, three of which have their own en-suite, two of which are huge with the bay windows to the front and access to bedroom four is via bedroom three.
The property is situated in an imposing position with uninterrupted views down Cauldwell Avenue and this plot may have originally been chosen for this very reason by a rich merchant family when built.
The property would benefit from updating inside. There is a damp situation in the sitting room and the west wall of the utility room which the current seller is having investigated by a specialist damp company.
Other work that the current seller has carried out includes the en-suite shower room from the main bedroom and there are ceiling spotlights throughout.
This part of Woodbridge Road provides easy access into Ipswich Town centre and there are bus routes in both directions almost opposite the property.
The property offers superb potential for an upgrading project and could be the most amazing family home. The current seller had a structural survey carried out in 2017 and a copy of this can be provided to interested parties upon request.
