A 1950's DETACHED BUNGALOW of traditional brick construction under a tiled roof pleasantly situated on a large plot of approx. 1/3 ACRE on the South Western outskirts of Ipswich, just off Hadleigh Road. Elton Park is a popular, quiet, semi-circular road located opposite Chantry Park with easy access to the main A12/A14, Sainsbury's Supermarket and Ipswich mainline railway station with its regular inter-city services to London's Liverpool Street Station (approx. 70 minutes).
