4 Bed Detached House For Sale The Tye, Ipswich, IP6

THE PROPERTY\r
Lower Farmhouse is a Suffolk County Council owned home which has been under the occupation of tenant farmers for a number of decades.\r
\r
The property is offered for sale with significant modernisation required, but provides a super opportunity for the successful buyer to create an imposing family home that takes full advantage of its excellent plot, orientation, and location. Subject to planning consent we also expect it would be suitable for extension to the rear.\r
\r
The accommodation includes four first-floor bedrooms, two reception rooms built around a large chimney, a ground floor bathroom, and a kitchen. There are two separate staircases and front and rear hallways.\r
\r
GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS\r
The grounds allocated to the house total 0.92 of an acre and include a formal garden at the front which faces east, and a west facing rear garden. The remainder of the grounds are mainly meadowland, albeit with established boundary hedges and a number of trees.\r
\r
To the front, the house has its own single garage which is wide enough to be converted into a double sized garage if required (stp). This also has an attached shed/outhouse.\r
\r
LOCATION\r
The property is one of four residential dwellings accessed from a privately owned, 700m track leading from the B1078. The house enjoys a peaceful setting (except for occasional air traffic activity from nearby Wattisham Air Base) and has a delightful outlook over farmland to the rear and over Barking Tye Common to the front. The common also provides excellent dog walking and play space for children.\r
\r
Needham Market is just over three miles from the house, as is access to the A14 in both directions. Both Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds are around twenty minutes away by car.\r
