Summary - 24 BURLINGTON ROAD IPSWICH IP1 2EU
6 bed 3 bath House
Spacious period home with garden, parking and planning flexibility for adaptable living.
Six double bedrooms across three floors and extensive loft space
An elegant Victorian townhouse on Burlington Road, this six-double-bedroom home blends original period detail with flexible living space across three floors plus cellar. High ceilings, large bay windows and ornate chimneypieces create generous, light-filled rooms; the sitting room opens through French doors to a west-facing rear garden, ideal for afternoon sun. The bespoke kitchen and utility room provide modern convenience while retaining character, and planning permission exists for a second staircase to enhance circulation and create separate first-floor access.
The house suits a large family or buyers seeking income potential and room to adapt. Accommodation includes three reception rooms, two bathrooms plus an en-suite, extensive loft spaces and a cellar, offering scope for conversion or reconfiguration. Practical strengths include generous off-street parking, mains gas central heating, double glazing and a decent plot with good garden privacy.
Be candid about condition and location: the building’s solid-brick Victorian walls are likely uninsulated and the house will benefit from targeted updating in places to meet modern energy standards. The area is described as very deprived with higher local crime levels, and council tax is above average—factors to weigh when budgeting ongoing costs. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property is a short distance from Ipswich town centre, schools and the railway to London.
Overall this is a substantial period home with clear strengths—space, character and planning flexibility—best for buyers who value original features and are prepared to invest in sensible upgrades or redesign to maximise the property’s long-term potential.
