One of the four apartments within this specific part of a former Victorian hospital in the east of Ipswich has become available for sale with no onward chain for a guide price of £395,000.
Described by selling agents Fine & Country as a “contemporary New York loft-style apartment”, 4 Chambers House’s modern design, mezzanine bedroom and open-plan living space ooze luxury, and many of the original Victorian features have been retained to enhance its grand feel, including large sash windows, a 22ft-high ceiling and original cornicing.
An elevator and stairs provide access to the first-floor apartment from the main communal entrance with intercom, spotlighting and a feature sash window.
Arriving at the apartment’s solid wood front door, you step through into an entrance hall with coconut matting, intercom and a large double cupboard housing the Worcester gas-fired boiler and fuse box.
A wood-panelled door opens into the impressive main living space, with its 22ft-high ceiling and huge arched sash windows with plantation shutters and curtains allowing in an abundance of natural light.
Wood-effect flooring covers the entire living space, and there are stylish uplighters in the walls and cornicing in addition to two feature pendant lights.
There is also a TV point, contemporary radiators and ample space for seating and dining furniture.
An area beneath the stairs to the mezzanine is currently used as a workspace with a further radiator but could also suit other uses.
In the kitchen area, bold, dark, shaker-style base and wall units provide plenty of prep and storage space including a larder. The cabinets are finished with granite worktops, and there is a matching breakfast bar island with additional storage space.
The kitchen is fitted with a stainless steel 1.5 bowl sink and mixer tap, an inset Indesit dishwasher, stainless steel Siemens gas hob with Perspex splashback and Siemens extractor over, inset Siemens electric oven under and inset Indesit fridge and freezer.
An inner hall contains doors to a utility room with built-in units, a Hoover washer/dryer, inset spotlights and a loft hatch, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles with sash windows with plantation shutters and radiators under and pendant lights; and one boasts a panelled feature wall with spotlights over, satellite, TV and radio points and its own en suite.
The en suite includes a walk-in shower with metro tile surround, rainfall and handheld shower heads and a glass shower screen, a close coupled WC and vanity hand wash basin with storage and a lit mirror.
The main family bathroom, located next to the utility, comprises a stylish matching suite with a vanity hand wash basin with granite worktop and storage and a mirrored wall unit over, panelled bath with shower and glass shower screen, medium-level WC and chrome heated towel rail.
A set of stairs in the main living space rises to the mezzanine third bedroom and lounge, which could be converted for other uses. Running the full width of the apartment with wooden railings overlooking the living area, Fine & Country describes this as a “large, versatile space” with an attached large storage area that “could easily be a walk-in wardrobe”.
It is fully carpeted with modern radiators and spotlighting, adding an attractive additional living space to this trendy property.
