This handsome Victorian semi-detached cottage offers spacious family living across multiple reception rooms and three generous bedrooms. High ceilings, original period features and a long conservatory create flexible living areas, while a large rear garden provides space for play, growing and outdoor entertaining. The property sits within easy reach of Ipswich town centre and the riverside amenities, with good schools nearby and fast broadband for home working.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, off-street parking and a substantial cellar split into three areas — good for storage or possible conversion subject to building regulations. The kitchen and utility are well laid out with bespoke fittings and a Belfast sink, and the ground floor cloakroom is a useful convenience for family life.
Buyers should note some material considerations: there is only one family bathroom, walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, and parts of the home will suit updating rather than being fully modernised. A neighbour’s listed wall forms part of the eastern boundary and a right of way exists for the neighbour’s parking across the shared driveway, which affects access and parking arrangements.
This house will suit families seeking character and space close to town and riverside life, and buyers wanting renovation potential with scope to add value (cellar conversion, energy improvements). The local area shows above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, which should be weighed alongside the property's many positives.
