The Guardian's 'Fantasy house hunt - homes for sale with kerb appeal'

The Guardian's 'Fantasy house hunt - homes for sale with kerb appeal' features Morpeth House, Ipswich - a stunning three-storey townhouse, complete with three quarter acre garden and garaging, within easy reach of Christchurch Park, the schools and station.

It says: "In the Victorian quarter is Morpeth House, with a blue plaque commemorating a former resident, the stamp dealer Charles Whitfield King. This is not the most instantly noticeable thing about the front of the house. The grand facade has tall sash windows and there is detailing in a deep red. Mature trees soften the brick edges. Over three floors, it has seven bedrooms and three reception rooms, many with the original fireplaces, cornicing and ceiling roses. In the grounds are a coach house and an octagonal garden hidden away."

On the market with a guide price of £950,000 with Jackson-Stops Ipswich.
