A compact three-bedroom semi-detached home offered chain-free and aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking affordable entry to the area. The ground floor has a bay-front living room, a kitchen/diner with integrated oven and hob, a useful utility area and a tucked-away downstairs W/C. Double doors open onto a rear garden with decking, lawn and a garage with vehicular access from Ipswich Crescent.
Practical features include off-street parking to the front and rear for two cars, mains gas central heating with a boiler and double glazing. Broadband and mobile coverage in the area are good to excellent, and local primary schools are rated Good, which will suit young families. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain.
Important factual points: the house is small at about 608 sq ft on a small plot, constructed in the 1930–49 period, and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation. Buyers should note the area scores higher on deprivation indices and has average crime levels. Prospective purchasers should verify the garage dimensions and suitability for their vehicle and commission a survey to check services and the condition of the heating and glazing.
This is a pragmatic, budget-friendly home with immediate liveability and scope to improve energy performance and internal fittings over time. It will suit first-time buyers wanting straightforward accommodation close to local amenities, or investors seeking a rental opportunity in a well-connected residential neighbourhood.
