A stunning five-bedroom home in the converted St Clement's Hospital building in Ipswich has come up for sale for offers in excess of £600,000.
The landmark building in the east of the town was originally built in 1866, before being converted in into several luxury homes and apartments in 2018.

This five-bedroom home is arranged over three levels and positioned at the front of the main part of the historic building.
Selling agents Exquisite Home say: “The joy of this house is that it is so flexible. During lockdown, the owners and their two teenage children needed to work and study. They each had fully functioning office suites over the three floors and the house comes into its own for parties and entertaining, with vast amounts of space and a large garden.”
The front door of the property leads into a hallway with a cloak room attached. A cosy study can also be found to the front of the house, with views overlooking the communal garden.
A spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining room is located off the hall. A bright and inviting space with plenty of room for food prep and entertaining, this room features Corian white worktops, an island with seating, integrated double oven and integrated dishwasher, five-ring gas hob, double fridge and wine fridge. It also features original Victorian cast iron radiators and enough room for a large table and chairs.
A set of bi-fold doors in the centre of the room lead into the open-plan lounge, allowing both rooms to be shut off from one another for extra privacy.
The contemporary lounge is bathed in natural light thanks to a large skylight in the ceiling and another set of bi-fold doors that open out on to the Indian sandstone terrace and south-facing garden.
Corner stairs in the hallway take you upstairs to the first floor, which comprises a generous landing, bathroom and three of the five bedrooms.
The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a Jack and Jill bathroom featuring a bath, wash basin and WC, as well as stylish subway tiles. The other two bedrooms on this floor are good-sized doubles with large arched windows letting in plenty of light.
Venturing upstairs to the second floor, you will find two further bedrooms, both of a good size and with fitted wardrobes. Both of these rooms have en suite shower rooms, and one of the rooms, which was previously used as the master, boasts a double shower and his and hers wash basins.

Outside, this impressive home enjoys its own terrace that is perfect for outdoor dining and a garden which has been thoughtfully planted up by the owners. A large fig tree provides fruit every year and a sour cherry tree at the front of the terrace offers additional privacy. There is also a large area of lawn and a Mediterranean herb patch.
Beautiful communal gardens and a golf course also serve the site.
The property also benefits from a brick-built double garage with wisteria trailing up it and parking for a number of vehicles. The versatile space could also suit a number of other of uses such as a gym or workshop.
A driveway at the front of the house has additional room for two cars, and two further dedicated parking spaces are found at the back of the building.
