A one-of-a-kind eco home in a sought-after area of Ipswich has hit the market at a guide price of £1 million.
Located in a private setting near Christchurch Park, 36A Warrington Road is constructed from a highly insulated concrete framework with part cedar-clad elevations and part-through colour render.
Further eco credentials include a sedum roof with solar panels, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout the house, which is individually zoned on each floor.
Peter Ogilvie, of selling agent Savills, described the detached property as a “hidden gem”, adding that “the spacious, light-filled accommodation flows remarkably well”.
Entering the home, a hallway leads through to a double-height kitchen/dining room with a spacious, open-plan layout.
The kitchen has Corian work surfaces, a Siemens double oven, induction hob, microwave and coffee machine. There is also a built-in fridge and freezer, as well as a Zip boiling and chilled filter tap.
Dividing the kitchen and sitting room is a back-to-back elevated Dimplex Optimyst flame-effect fire – while triple-glazed bi-fold doors open out to the gardens.

Completing the ground floor are a WC and study/bedroom with built-in cabinetry including a clever wall bed.
On the lower ground floor, there is a spacious gym, cinema room, hot tub, sauna and shower room – plus a utility room.
A curving staircase ascends to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Two bedrooms – including the master – have a dressing room and en-suite shower room. The third bedroom is served by a family bathroom.
The property is just as impressive outside, with a south-west facing garden designed by award-winning designer Sue Townsend.
Surrounded by mature pleached evergreen Japanese tree privets, the garden also has well-stocked beds inset around a black limestone and York stone terrace with seating area.

Bespoke lighting throughout the garden includes LED spotlights set into the stone steps, along with uplights, downlights and spots highlighting trees and borders.
There is also a purpose-built outdoor kitchen with fitted pizza oven, barbecue and covered seating area.
The house is set back from Warrington Road at the end of a Himalayan Silver Birch tree-lined gravel driveway, accessed through electric gates.
