Summary - 3, Cecil Road IP1 3NW
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Ready-made rental with immediate income and substantial improvement potential.
Five bedrooms plus flexible reception rooms for conversion potential
This five-bedroom detached home in IP1 offers a ready-made investment: tenants remain in situ, providing immediate rental income and occupancy security. The layout includes two to three reception rooms, a ground-floor ensuite and cloakroom, and a first-floor family bathroom, supporting flexible lettings or future conversion potential.
The property is spacious throughout and sits on a decent plot with off-street parking for at least four cars and a private rear garden. Constructed circa 1900–1929, the house benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators.
Notable concerns are practical and location-based. The exterior and garden are overgrown and require maintenance; some internal and external work is likely. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, so energy upgrades may be needed. The area records high crime and very high deprivation, factors investors should factor into rental strategy and pricing.
For an investor seeking central Ipswich exposure, this freehold property offers scale, parking, and immediate income, with clear scope to add value through refurbishment and energy improvements. Flood risk is low, and local amenities and schools are within short distance, supporting long-term lettability.
