Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Gislingham, this two-bedroom cluster house offers straightforward, well-maintained accommodation for first-time buyers or investors. The open-plan ground floor reception feels bright and practical, leading to a separate kitchen and rear garden accessed via a side path. Off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a single garage add desirable storage and convenience.
The first floor provides two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is compact at about 507 sq ft, so it suits those seeking a modest, manageable home or a lettable investment. The house is freehold and constructed in the 1980s, with double glazing and electric storage heating recently fitted, making it economical to run for short-term occupancy but potentially costly to heat for long stays.
Notable practical points: the rear garden is reached down a side path rather than directly behind the house, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the EPC is D. These are important for buyers who work from home or prioritise low-energy running. On the positive side the area is affluent with very low crime, good local primary schools and a peaceful village setting.
Overall, the property is a tidy, affordable entry onto the market with clear potential for cosmetic updating or modest investment improvements to increase rental appeal or comfort. Buyers should factor in limited floor area and electric heating when assessing long-term suitability.
