Set back on a generous plot in Rushmere St. Andrew, this three-bedroom detached home offers practical family living with scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms, a lean-to and downstairs cloakroom, giving flexible ground-floor space for family life and home working. Off-street parking and a private rear garden complete the setting.
Constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the house is sound and double-glazed but shows signs of age and will suit buyers ready to update cosmetic finishes and services where needed. The kitchen and some internal finishes need maintenance or modernising, presenting clear refurbishment potential to increase comfort and value. There is scope to extend (subject to planning permission) for more space or reconfiguration.
Practical extras include gas central heating, a decent plot with paved seating and storage, and very low local crime. The location is convenient for major routes (A12/A14), Ipswich Hospital and several well-rated schools, making it a good choice for families or professionals seeking space and future improvement potential. Sold chain-free, viewings are recommended to assess the plot and layout in person.
