Summary - 217, Hawthorn Drive, IPSWICH IP2 0QE
3 bed 1 bath Town House
South-facing garden and driveway; ideal for renovation or investment.
Chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace with freehold tenure
A mid-20th century three-bedroom mid-terrace offered chain-free and ready for a full cosmetic refresh. The house provides a sensible family layout with a separate lounge and dining room, kitchen, one first-floor bathroom plus a ground-floor cloakroom, and practical built-in storage. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a driveway plus a south-facing rear garden large enough for family use.
This home suits buyers seeking a renovation project or investors targeting a refurbishment opportunity; the footprint is average for a three-bedroom in this area (c. 971 sq ft) and the plot is a decent size. Local amenities include several primary and secondary schools (Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding nearby), shops, bus links and the regenerating Ipswich waterfront. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the house needs updating throughout to reach modern standards, with dated décor, carpeting and fixtures. The neighbourhood is classified as hampered with high area deprivation, and crime is described as average for the location. There is only one family bathroom, and double glazing predates 2002 so some windows may require future replacement. These factors have been reflected in the asking price and present scope for added value after renovation.
