6 Bed House For Sale Oban Street, Ipswich, IP1

Superbly spacious Victorian town house with delightful gardens, home office and off-street parking.

\rDescription

7 Oban Street is a superbly presented Victorian town house constructed predominantly from Suffolk white brick under pitched tiled roofs believed to date from 1890. Internally the house has great period character and has been well maintained through the years whilst at the same time retaining such character features of the era including; well proportioned rooms, sash windows, shutters and fireplaces with decorative surrounds and ceiling roses. The layout of the property works remarkably well over three floors with both reception rooms and bedrooms leading off central hallways and landings.

Over the years the owners have completely re-modelled and re-fitted the kitchen/dining room to create a room that is a real hub of family life. This open plan space is a particular feature of the property which now affords a bespoke kitchen with wooden base and wall mounted units with marble work tops. A large island benefits the kitchen providing further storage and work space. The fitted appliances include Neff ovens, a warming drawer, built in fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a five ring gas hob. French doors lead out of the kitchen on to the terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. The dining area has a wood burner fitted and door to the front of the property.

The impressive sitting room is a very light and airy reception room with a seagrass carpet and delightful bay window with fitted shutters. On the opposite side of the hallway lies the spacious utility/boot room which has full height cupboards, Belfast sink and marble work tops. Separate doors off the utility lead through to a downstairs shower room and a further utility space with door out to the garden. The first floor landing gives access to the principal bedroom which, is a lovely room with fitted cupboards, double doors out to a charming balcony which affords views out over the front of the property and a large en suite bathroom. There are a further two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The second floor has a further three bedrooms and a large loft room.
