Five-bed house on market in Rushmere St Andrew near Ipswich

The Chimes is located in Rushmere St Andrews, just three miles from the centre of Ipswich.

Once a single-story home, it has been extended both outwards and upwards to create the five-bed house it is today. 

A sweeping driveway takes those driving into the property to the front door, located under a quaint porch.

To the left of the entrance, a triple-aspect drawing room looks out over the spacious gardens. 

The large kitchen and dining area stretches across the back of the property and is flooded with light from the skylights overhead and the bi-fold doors that lead out into the garden.

Travelling further along the hallway, a sizeable dining room can be found to the right, and a sitting room with dual-aspect windows at the end of the long corridor. 

The other side of the hallway is lined with several doors that lead to two large bedrooms, both fitted with ensuite bathrooms, and a study, which could be used as a further bedroom if needed.

Stairs lead to a spacious first floor and two further bedrooms, including the master bedroom, which is fitted with a large dressing room and en-suite bathroom.

The family bathroom is found on this floor, with a large bathtub along one wall. 

The house is situated in the centre of immaculately landscaped gardens, complete with a large terraced area for summer dining. 

A double garage is situated to the side of the property, with an outside staircase leading to a room that could be used as an office or further storage.
