Affordable three-bed cottage near Ipswich town centre, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Three bedrooms in compact 636 sq ft layout
Offered chain-free — immediate possession possible
Requires modernisation throughout; cosmetic and systems work likely
Small, proportionate rear garden with powered timber shed
On-street parking only; no garage or private driveway
Freehold tenure and low council tax (Band A)
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Local area: above-average crime and higher deprivation
This compact three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Ipswich offers an affordable entry into homeownership or a manageable rental investment. Located in IP3 and offered with no onward chain, the property provides immediate possession and a clear scope to add value through modernisation. Its modest footprint (approx. 636 sq ft) and small rear garden suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance central location.
The house retains period character externally with a red-brick façade and sash-style windows, while the interior is straightforward and tidy but dated. Accommodation comprises a front sitting room with a feature fireplace, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, family bathroom, and three small bedrooms across two storeys. Heating is gas-fired; mains services are connected and the property is freehold.
Practical benefits include on-street parking, a timber shed with power in the rear garden, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and very low council tax (Band A). The town centre, schools, and transport links are within easy reach, making this a sensible pick for a first-time buyer wanting central convenience or an investor targeting lettings in a broadly rental-focused neighbourhood.
Important drawbacks are candid: the home requires renovation and modernisation throughout, the overall size and plot are small, and the local area records higher-than-average crime and deprivation indices. Buyers should budget for updating and verify any works through survey and local checks.
