Thomas Wolsey Place
Thomas Wolsey Place is an established McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development for the over-60s, ideally positioned on Lower Brook Street in the heart of Ipswich. The development offers a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, thoughtfully arranged to create a welcoming and well-maintained residential setting.
A key feature of Thomas Wolsey Place is its strong sense of community. Residents enjoy access to attractive shared spaces, including a comfortable homeowners’ lounge and landscaped gardens, which provide ideal places to relax, socialise, and take part in optional events and activities. The friendly atmosphere encourages independence while offering opportunities to connect with neighbours and form lasting friendships. An on-site House Manager and secure entry systems add reassurance and peace of mind.
The location places residents at the centre of everything Ipswich has to offer. A wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and local amenities are within easy walking distance, along with the historic waterfront, parks and cultural attractions. Excellent transport links make it simple to travel locally or further afield, allowing residents to enjoy both town-centre convenience and the charm of the wider Suffolk area.
Local Area
Lower Brook Street is one of the most desirable addresses in Ipswich. You are within walking distance to both the central retail district and the lovely cafes and restaurants of Ipswich Waterfront. A Sainsbury's is 150m from your front door, as well as a Boots pharmacy and two doctor's surgeries. The train station and hospital are also just a short bus ride away, with the Old Cattle Market Bus Station just down the road
Living Room
The spacious living room is decorated in natural tones, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs positioned beside the impressive floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an inviting area for both relaxing and entertaining.
Kitchen
Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the kitchen offers a contemporary yet timeless space that supports everyday living with ease. High-quality fitted units provide generous storage, complemented by sleek worktops and integrated appliances for a clean, streamlined finish. Thoughtful details, such as easy-to-use fittings and well-planned layouts, ensure comfort, accessibility, and efficiency, making the kitchen a welcoming and functional heart of the home
Bedroom
The generously sized bedroom is finished in soft, neutral tones to create a calm and relaxing retreat. There is ample space for bedroom furniture, while the walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage and helps maintain a clean, uncluttered feel.
