Attractive period house overlooking Christchurch Park.
28 Westerfield is an exceptionally handsome, late-Victorian house, with stunning gardens and superb views over Christchurch Park and towards the River Orwell.
The house is believed to date from around the 1880s and retains wonderful period features throughout, including picture rails, sash windows, high skirting boards and original coving,
Typical of buildings of the age, 10 Westerfield comprises well-proportioned and light filled rooms with wonderfully high ceilings.
The front door sits behind an arched porch and leads through to the generous reception hall, which in turn leads to the drawing room, sitting room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room; stairs lead up to the bedroom accommodation and down to the cellar, which our clients have converted into a fabulous cinema room.
To the rear of the property is a magnificent, bespoke kitchen with a central island, oak work surfaces, Villeroy & Boch sink, Rangemaster range cooker, wine fridge, integrated Neff dishwasher and microwave, and a Fisher & Paykel fridge.
It opens on to a vaulted sitting area with a glazed, oak framed gable end, Velux windows and bi-fold doors leading out to the terrace and garden.
The elegantly proportioned drawing room has a splendid bay window, filling the room with natural light and a marble chimneypiece with a gas fire. The dining room also has a gas fire and French windows out to the terrace. Completing the ground floor is an informal sitting room and a lavatory.
The lower ground floor has been converted into an incredible cinema room, with space for a large projector screen and seating area.
The six well-proportioned bedrooms are over the first and second floor. The principal bedroom is especially elegant, with a bay window, dressing room and adjoining shower room. A balcony on the second floor provides views over Christchurch Park
Immediately to the rear of the house is an excellent terrace and outdoor kitchen, with a pizza oven and integral barbecue. It offers the most fantastic space for al fresco dining and leads through to a pergola; the walled garden has an area of lawn, mature beds and trees.
There is ample parking to the front.

10 Westerfield Road is an impressive family home in a popular area of Ipswich, overlooking the park. The house and gardens are excellent and I especially love the incredible kitchen, with a fabulous, oak framed and glazed extension.
