A one-of-a-kind eco home in a sought-after area of Ipswich has hit the market at a guide price of £1 million.

Located in a private setting near Christchurch Park, 36A Warrington Road is constructed from a highly insulated concrete framework with part cedar-clad elevations and part-through colour render.

Further eco credentials include a sedum roof with solar panels, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout the house, which is individually zoned on each floor.

Peter Ogilvie, of selling agent Savills, described the detached property as a “hidden gem”, adding that “the spacious, light-filled accommodation flows remarkably well”.

Entering the home, a hallway leads through to a double-height kitchen/dining room with a spacious, open-plan layout.
