An elegant five-bedroom period house arranged over three floors in central Ipswich. Features include a stunning vaulted top floor bedroom with exposed beams and en-suite, spacious kitchen/dining room and a private enclosed decked garden ideal for entertaining.
Set along the gentle curve of Lower Brook Street, this elegant five-bedroom period house unfolds across three thoughtfully arranged floors, combining generous proportions with carefully considered contemporary interiors. The house balances its historic character with a calm, modern aesthetic, creating a home that feels both refined and highly liveable.
The white-rendered façade sits comfortably within a charming streetscape of historic Ipswich buildings, its traditional sash windows offering a subtle nod to the Georgian and Victorian heritage of the area.
Inside, the house opens into a bright and welcoming entrance hall finished with pale timber flooring and soft neutral tones that establish a sense of light and space from the outset.

The principal bedroom enjoys generous proportions and an en-suite shower room, while additional bedrooms are served by well-appointed bathrooms arranged across the house.
The bathroom has been finished with careful attention to materials, including tiling, contemporary fittings and a striking freestanding roll-top bath that introduces a quiet sense of luxury.
