of the important town of Ipswich, at an elevation of 
some 300 feet above the level of the beautiful River 
Orwell. The house is built with the famous Woolpit 
brick, and is a very neat and elegant structure. The 
front has a light open verandah that adds much to the 
beauty and comfort of the building, and from which

whole of the highly picturesque banks of this beautiful 
river, including portions of the well-wooded par
