High above Ipswich central on a stunning flood-free block of 1,238 square metres sits this classic Woodend post-war cottage that has housed generations of the same family.

On the market for the first time in 60 years, built in 1956, this much-loved home is now ready to welcome a new family into a charming, quiet pocket of Woodend at the end of a cul-de-sac just a stone’s throw from the private schools of St Edmunds, St Mary’s and Ipswich Boys Grammar, and a ten-minute stroll from Ipswich city centre.

Sheltered by magnificent poincianas in a well-established subtropical garden, this house is everything post-war comfort promises – a rambling, cosy mix of rooms with beautiful hardwood timber floors, high ceilings and cool breezes through wide-open windows.

Primed for a creative couple to set to and renovate, or welcoming just as it is, this property has everything a growing family needs. The four bedrooms are comfortable, north-facing, light and airy, while the main bathroom was renovated about ten years ago and needs no further work. A fully renovated master bedroom offers a surprisingly spacious hidden getaway for the parents into modern comfort, with luxurious wool carpet, spotted gum trim, cedar doors and double-glazed windows.

The original kitchen is perfect for the home cook, easy to use as-is with original benchtops and stove, or ready to renovate into one of the finest rooms of the house with views over the St Edmunds sports ovals and down into Ipswich Central.

This property’s spacious back yard has ample room for a trampoline, a veggie garden and a couple of chooks, complemented by secret lanes twisting through the low boughs of the poincianas in the front yard.

A comfortable balcony high above the front entrance is the perfect place to entertain friends and family, while below a spacious garage has been converted into a comfortable workshop for the handyman or hobbyist, leading to a garden shed with room for the mower and a potting table.

The ideal investment for a family looking to put down roots and settle into a comfortable, relaxed way of life nestled into one of the quietest corners of exclusive Woodend, this classic cottage won’t last long.
