Set close to Ipswich town centre, 117 Woodbridge Road is a vacant two-bedroom end-terrace offered freehold at auction. The house has a traditional Victorian build, gas central heating, double glazing added since 2002 and a large cellar that offers useful storage or scope for conversion (subject to consents). Its central location, previous successful lettings and chain-free auction sale make it a straightforward purchase for a buy-to-let investor or a buyer prepared to renovate.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; the walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and the EPC is D. Expect works to kitchens, bathrooms, decoration and possible energy-efficiency improvements to raise returns or improve comfort. The plot is small but includes an enclosed rear garden, and the house is arranged over multiple storeys with three main rooms and a cellar.
This lot is sold at traditional auction with immediate contract exchange on the day if successful — a 10% deposit will be payable and completion typically follows within 28 days. Investors should review the legal pack carefully and be prepared to proceed promptly. For owner-occupiers, the property offers period character and renovation potential but will need an active project budget.
Overall, the house presents a practical entry to Ipswich central property at a guide price of £120,000–£140,000. It is best suited to buyers seeking a renovation project with near-term rental potential, or those able to carry refurbishment costs to improve energy performance and redecoration.
