The whole house will be yours to enjoy!
Capel St Mary sits quietly just off the A12, which is precisely the point. Close enough to Ipswich and Colchester to make it a practical base for work or visits, far enough from both to feel like somewhere you'd actually want to come home to at the end of the day.
The house has been updated to a good standard throughout - comfortable, well-equipped and straightforward to use. The standout feature is the layout: double doors connect the kitchen-dining room and the lounge, creating a genuinely open, sociable space that works well when a group of people needs to spread out without feeling separated. It's the kind of detail that makes a house feel more generous than its square footage suggests.
Four bedrooms sleep up to 7 - a double, two twin rooms and a single - a configuration that suits work teams, contractor groups, or families with children particularly well. Two bathrooms serve the house, and a dedicated workspace with fast WiFi means it works as a practical base for those combining work with an overnight stay.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden has a table and seating - a useful place to decompress at the end of a long day and well suited to dogs of any size.
Ipswich is 10-15 minutes by car, Colchester 15-20. The A12 and A14 are both within easy reach for wider Suffolk and Essex access. Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park is a short drive for anyone with family in tow.
Managed by SIB Properties, a specialist short-let management company covering Essex and Suffolk.
