This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Ann Street offers practical central Ipswich living with classic period character. The through lounge with two open fireplaces and original timber features gives immediate charm, while double glazing and mains gas heating provide everyday comfort. A small, low-maintenance courtyard and one off-street parking space to the rear are notable conveniences for city living.
At about 636 sq ft, the house is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking an affordable freehold in easy reach of Ipswich town centre and the mainline train station. The property provides clear potential: rooms are straightforward in layout and ready for cosmetic updating or modest reconfiguration to add value. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and major road links (A12/A14) are nearby for commuting.
Buyers should be aware of material downsides. The terrace dates from the early 1900s with solid brick walls and assumed lack of wall insulation, so energy improvements may be needed. The local area records high crime levels and is described as very deprived; purchasers should consider location suitability and security measures. The plot is small and the property is an average-sized, older home that will need some modernisation to reach contemporary standards.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable entry into Ipswich with period appeal and genuine scope to personalise. It suits a buyer who values proximity to amenities and transport, and is prepared to invest modestly in upgrading for comfort or rental potential.
