High local crime rate and area deprivation — impacts resale/rental
This three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace on Back Hamlet is offered freehold and chain-free, positioned within walking distance of Ipswich town centre, waterfront and Alexandra Park. The property’s period features — bay window and fireplaces — give character and scope for tasteful refurbishment. It suits a buyer wanting central location and schooling catchment benefits (Clifford Road/Copleston), with immediate occupancy possible.
Internally the layout is traditional: open lounge/diner, kitchen, pantry, bathroom and three good-sized bedrooms above. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted. The rear garden is private with patio areas, gated side access and a shed; as an end terrace it benefits from easier external access than mid-terraces.
Buyers should note this is a Victorian solid-brick property likely lacking cavity wall insulation and showing signs of age. The house requires modernisation in places — cosmetics and possible upgrades to electrics, heating components and insulation should be budgeted for. On-street parking predominates (permit zone applies); there is no off-street parking.
The location is a key selling point for first-time buyers or investors wanting rental demand close to the university, transport links and town amenities. However, the immediate area scores high for crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect resale or rental positioning. Viewing will reveal the balance between central convenience and renovation investment needed.
