Chantry Mansion - Exteriors Only

Striking mansion house, owned by Ipswich Borough Council and currently occupied by the Sue Ryder Foundation. The structure is a fine example of Italianate domestic architecture that dominated country house design in England from 1840s to the 1860s. In the past it has been used as a friendship centre, convalescent home and since 1992 has been leased by the Sue Ryder Foundation as a home for those with complex neurological needs. It is visually striking and surrounded by well kept and picturesque park gardens. [TAGS; Ipswich, Chantry Park, hall, manor, estate, grand, gates, chandeliers, lodges]
