Ivy House is a charming five/six bedroom detached house in the highly regarded village of Chelsworth. Much of the property's charm comes from the retained character features such as exposed timbers, large sash windows, inglenook fireplaces and established grounds. The property has been significantly improved and extended by the current owners to create diverse and flexible living accommodation that would suit a range of different lifestyles with downstairs bedroom accommodation available. A recent addition is the installation of a full-fibre connection to the local telephone network.
