This "delightful" eight-bedroom Victorian townhouse close to Christchurch Park in Ipswich has come up for sale with a £1.25million price tag.

The Grade II listed property, which has been well maintained by its current owners, is located on Fonnereau Road in the town.

The house is believed to date back to the early 19th century and is situated in a conservation area surrounded by a number of similar houses that retain their traditional materials and detailing.

Property agent Tom Orford, from the residential sales team at Savills Suffolk, said the house was in one of the most sought after parts of Ipswich – within walking distance of Ipswich School and in the Northgate catchment area.

“I've walked past this house many times on the way to Christchurch Park but had no idea how big it was,” he added.

“The space and light-filled rooms are particularly impressive and the garden to the south is delightful.”
