This freehold two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace offers a straightforward, affordable route into Ipswich town-centre living. The property has two double bedrooms, a lounge/diner, a compact kitchen and a first-floor bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. A west-facing courtyard garden with raised decking provides private outdoor space and good afternoon sun.
The house is well placed for walkability: short walks to Christchurch Park, Ipswich School and the retail and transport amenities of the town centre. Practical day-to-day benefits include permit parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is low, and the overall size is typical of period terraces – manageable and cost-effective to run if upgraded appropriately.
Important considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs and comfort will improve with insulation and a heating upgrade. The wider area records higher crime and significant deprivation indicators; buyers should factor in location context when planning resale or rental. The property will suit someone looking to personalise rather than move into a finished, modern home.
Room sizes and services are provided for guidance only; buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and service checks. There is clear potential to increase value through targeted refurbishment, insulation and heating improvements, while the central location supports rental demand or owner-occupation close to town amenities.
