Tucked away on the peaceful outskirts of Ipswich, in the village of Akenham, this beautifully refurbished and extended semi-detached home perfectly balances countryside living with modern convenience. Surrounded by open fields and farmland, it offers a genuine rural feel while keeping shops, schools, and transport links within easy reach.<br/><br/>The front of the house retains its traditional charm with cosy, well-proportioned rooms and a welcoming open hallway that immediately gives a sense of space. A newly added front porch provides practical storage and everyday convenience, while the area under the stairs has been cleverly designed to suit multiple uses — from a storage area to a compact home office.<br/><br/>To the rear, the extension transforms the home. The bright, open-plan kitchen diner is a real showpiece, with a skylight and bi-fold doors flooding the space with light and opening onto the new patio. The adjoining utility room adds everyday practicality without interrupting the flow of the main space.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the extended primary bedroom feels like a boutique retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish en-suite. All three bedrooms comfortably fit double beds, making this an ideal home for growing families. A modern family bathroom with both a bath and a walk in shower completes the upstairs, with a downstairs WC adding extra convenience.<br/><br/>Outside, the large garden has been newly seeded to grass and enclosed with fresh fencing, offering plenty of room for children, pets, or entertaining. There’s a spacious patio area for dining, a new driveway providing ample off-road parking, and plans already in place for a detached garage to the side — giving the next owner the option to expand even further.<br/><br/>This chain-free property is essentially a brand-new home inside and out. It is a move-in-ready property that combines modern living with countryside serenity — ideal for young families or upsizers wanting the best of both worlds.
