Summary - Henley Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 IP1 3SA
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Generous corner plot, garage and wide driveway near parks and schools.
Four-bedroom 1930s detached family house on a large corner plot
This substantial 1930s detached home sits on a generous corner plot in sought-after IP1, offering four bedrooms, two reception rooms and an attached single garage plus large driveway. Recent works include a full rewire (2022), loft and wall insulation and secondary glazing throughout, so the house combines period character with improved energy efficiency. The layout flows from an entrance reception into a sizeable living room with French doors to a covered sideway and paved patio — great for indoor-outdoor family living.
The long kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room give flexible space for family life and entertaining. There are three double bedrooms and one single, all with wash basins, and a principal bedroom of generous proportions. The property is presented well following renovation but retains scope for cosmetic updating in places to personalise finishes and potentially add value.
Practical features include gas boiler and radiators, multiple WCs (one external), an attached garage with electric door and parking for several cars. Local benefits are strong: easy walking distance to Ipswich town centre, mainline station, East Anglia University and excellent school catchments, making this an attractive family location.
Notable considerations: there is just one family bathroom, council tax sits in a high band (F) and the EPC is band D. Buyers seeking a fully modernised show-home may wish to allow for some internal updates despite the recent electrical and insulation improvements. Early viewing recommended to appreciate the plot, room sizes and potential.
