A Grade II listed period property in Ipswich with royal connections is up for sale at a guide price of £600,000. 

The five-bedroom townhouse close to the town centre once formed part of the Suffolk Victoria Nursing Home, which was opened in 1903 by Queen Victoria’s daughter Princess Helena. 

Selling agent Jackson-Stops said the “elegant and charming period home”, which offers more than 2,300 sq ft of accommodation over three storeys, retains “a wealth of history and character”. 

Entering the property, the light-filled lobby is used as a study area and has French doors to the dual-aspect sitting room.
