Parkside AvenueIpswich, Suffolk, IP4 2UL

1 Parkside Avenue is an exceptionally handsome mid-Victorian home, dating from around 1857, set within private gardens and enjoying superb views over the town, Christchurch Park, and towards the River Orwell. The property retains a wealth of original period features, including sash windows, picture rails, high skirting boards, and decorative coving. As is typical of homes of this era, it offers generously proportioned, light-filled rooms with impressive ceiling heights throughout. Made-to-order imported, Italian chandeliers are also featured throughout and could be purchased via separate negotiation.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby, where an original panelled door leads into a striking reception hall. This impressive space features a sweeping staircase rising to the first floor and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation, including the sitting room, kitchen/dining room, and a studio/bedroom.

To the rear, the house boasts a magnificent bespoke kitchen fitted with Carrara marble work surfaces, LED-lit cabinetry, and integrated appliances including Neff ovens, a dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. A large bay window with French doors floods the room with natural light and opens directly onto the garden. The elegant sitting room, accessible from both the reception hall and kitchen/dining room, enjoys a double aspect and is centred around a beautiful fireplace. An adjoining garden room provides further access to the outdoor space.

To the front of the property is a versatile studio/bedroom, featuring a distinctive door adorned with hand-painted gold leaf by an Italian artist. This area also includes a lavatory and utility room, offering excellent potential for guest accommodation or independent living space.

The first floor is accessed via the staircase and leads to a spacious landing. From here, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from excellent natural light and attractive outlooks, along with a fourth, smaller bedroom currently arranged as a study. Two well-appointed bathrooms serve this floor and complete the first-floor accommodation.

The garden to the rear is private and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature and specimen trees, along with well-stocked shrub and herbaceous borders. To the front, the property is approached via a gated entrance, opening onto a generous driveway that provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles as well as a large garage.
