Property Details

Description

Introduction
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property offering approximately 8,000 sq. ft. over three floors. Formerly part of Ipswich Hospital, this well-maintained property retains exceptional character and versatility. With Class E usage, most recently as office space, it offers significant potential for commercial or residential redevelopment, STP.Location

Situated in one of Ipswich’s most desirable conservation areas, just 0.2 miles from the town centre, adjacent to Ipswich School and Christchurch Park Arboretum. Ipswich provides comprehensive amenities and excellent transport links via rail and road. The property benefits from vehicular access via Ivry Street, with five parking spaces for the existing use.

Potential Usage
Currently registered under Class E, the property offers extensive commercial possibilities, subject to approval. Class E also permits residential conversion, again subject to approval, providing scope for high-quality living spaces. Its generous size, prime location, and adaptable layout make it attractive to investors and developers.

Planning Pending
Following positive discussions with the LA, a prior approval application for conversion into 11 flats is pending, with determination expected before auction. If approved, this represents an excellent residential development opportunity in a desirable location. This conversion could significantly enhance the property’s long-term value.

Conclusion
A distinguished, historically significant property offering outstanding investment potential. Whether maintained for commercial use or converted into residential, its prime location and flexible planning status present a compelling opportunity. With Ipswich School and Christchurch Park nearby, this rare acquisition offers versatility and uniqueness in an ideal setting.
