This well-presented Victorian terrace sits a short walk from Christchurch Park and Ipswich town centre, offering comfortable city living for a small family or couple. The house has been comprehensively renovated to a high standard while retaining period features such as pine floors and feature fireplaces, creating a warm, characterful interior ready to move into.
Practical upgrades include double glazing, a recently installed gas combi boiler, a fitted kitchen with solid oak and granite worktops, and a fully boarded loft with Velux window that offers scope for conversion (subject to permissions). The rear garden is private and walled, with an outbuilding and pedestrian access to Cardigan Street — useful for bikes or bins.
Buyers should note this property sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation; prospective purchasers should consider local safety and amenity factors. The house is solid brick (likely uninsulated in the walls) which may limit thermal efficiency without further insulation work. Current EPC D (63) with potential to improve.
Good transport links and local schools make this a practical city base: Ipswich station, A12/A14 links and a range of schools nearby. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low. Overall, this is a handy, characterful home with immediate usability and clear scope to add value through loft work and targeted insulation improvements.
