The Gables is a three-storey Victorian house built around the turn of the century*, and stands in the prestigious park area of Ipswich. It was converted into a hotel in the late 1960’s, and has been tastefully refurbished by the present owners Nancy & John Sparks, by enhancing the spacious interiors yet retaining the Victorian ambience.

*The fashion for pastel coloured stained glass was very popular at the end of Queen Victoria’s reign.

The use of pastel colours in stain glass windows…
...can be used to date a house to around the end of the 19th century.
