This Victorian mid-terrace cottage sits between Ipswich and Woodbridge and offers a compact, characterful home with genuine countryside views. The living room features exposed beams and a feature fireplace, while three first-floor bedrooms make it practical for a small family or commuters seeking a village-feel close to town.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for two, a small rear garden with useful shed storage and gated access, and low council tax. The property is freehold and has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, supporting home-working.
Buyers should note this is a small house (circa 797 sq ft) with a single shower room. The building is solid-brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation — heating is electric via a boiler and radiators — so upgrading insulation and services could be advisable to improve comfort and running costs. Some rooms and exterior elements show signs of repair and updating needs.
Overall, this is a traditional, affordable period property with scope to modernise and add value. It will suit a couple or small family wanting character, countryside views and parking, but buyers wanting a turnkey, highly efficient home should budget for improvements.
