No 1 Park Gate is a substantial three-story family home in a lovely position, looking towards Christchurch Park which is often described as the green lung of Ipswich town centre.

The park entrance is just a few steps away.

The park is a great place for children to play, for walking dogs and park runs - and one of my favourite places in Ipswich. And it is also a great walking route into the town centre.

Ipswich School is also nearby, as is Ipswich Sports Club and the tennis centre in Henley Road. There are tennis courts on the park too.

It is a highly sought after area of Ipswich.

No 1 Park Gate is one of just six homes in a gated development by NHBC Pride in the Job winning local developer, Landex Homes, and built between 2014/2015.

The Pride in the Job Awards annually recognise excellence in the housebuilding industry. This five bedroom home offers around 3,000sq ft of accommodation in, arguably, one of the best locations in town.

It is a home of great proportions, and flooded with light from many double height windows, bi-fold doors and with three balconies.
