Description

Set in the desirable village of Rushmere St. Andrew, this 4-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Positioned on the northern outskirts of Ipswich, the location benefits from close proximity to well-regarded schools, local shops, and easy access to the town center. The property features an inviting entrance hall that leads to a convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC. Off to one side, there is an annexe—originally designed as a double garage—that has been repurposed into a versatile living space complete with a bedroom area, kitchenette, living area, and en-suite facilities. This flexibility offers potential for multi-generational living or could serve as an ideal rental unit with some modernization. Moving through the hall, you'll find double doors opening into a generous dual-aspect sitting and dining room. This bright space flows seamlessly into the extensive kitchen, which is equipped with a range of base and eye-level units and ample work surfaces. A door provides access to the family room adorned with sliding doors that lead directly out to the patio and garden—a great feature for outdoor entertaining or relaxing in natural surroundings. An inner hallway branches off to three additional bedrooms, including one smaller bedroom with a walk-in shower, providing adaptable accommodation options. The family bathroom features both a bath with shower over and essential fixtures such as a basin and WC, while there is also a separate TV room or study off the inner hall that adds even more potential for reconfiguration. Outside, the property benefits from a block-paved in/out driveway at the front that accommodates multiple vehicles and is framed by mature shrubs and trees for added privacy. The south-facing rear garden features an immediate patio area followed by lawn space and includes a summerhouse—ideal for enjoying sunny days or as additional storage. With its solid structure set in such a sought-after area, this bungalow offers significant scope for enhancement tailored to contemporary tastes or rental potential. Buyers should note that the property is subject to probate; therefore, completion will occur once full probate is granted. Overall, this property represents not only a comfortable family home but also an exciting canvas for those looking to invest in real estate in an attractive community.
