Description
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.
Location
1 Parkside Avenue is situated to the north of Ipswich town centre and in close proximity to Christchurch Park, which is one of the most sought after areas in Ipswich.
Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and provides a wide selection of independent and high street shops; numerous restaurants including The Mariners, set on a 19th century Belgian gunboat; and a variety of theatres, galleries, and museums. A mainline railway station is in walking distance and offers direct trains to London Liverpool Street from 60 minutes.
Local sporting facilities are fantastic: There are a myriad of gyms and swimming pools in the vicinity; the Ipswich Sports Club has eleven tennis courts and also offers squash, racquetball and hockey. Superb sailing is available on the River Deben, River Orwell and along the Suffolk coast. There are rugby clubs in Ipswich and Woodbridge, and highly regarded golf clubs including Ipswich, Woodbridge and Aldeburgh.
Education provisions are excellent in both the state and independent sectors. Ipswich School is moments away, and an easy walk directly from the house; other renowned independent schools include Orwell Park Prep School, St Joseph’s College, Ipswich High School, Woodbridge School and Framlingham College. St Margaret's Primary School and Northgate High School are both popular state schools.
