Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the southwest side of Ipswich, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a large, established plot and is offered with no onward chain. The well-proportioned 26ft dual-aspect lounge/dining room and integral garage provide comfortable family living now, with scope to modernise and personalise over time.
All four bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and the layout supports everyday family life; nearby schools (including a Good and an Outstanding primary) and direct road links to the A12/A14 and Ipswich station suit commuting families. The private rear garden is mature and well stocked, offering safe outdoor space and potential for landscaping or extension subject to planning.
The property requires updating throughout: fixtures and finishes are dated and the home would benefit from modernization, improved insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and replacement/upgrade of services where desired. The integral garage has good conversion potential but would need insulation, heating, flooring and finishing works to become a comfortable habitable space. There is a single first-floor bathroom only, which may be limiting for a larger household.
This house is best for buyers seeking a roomy, chain-free family home with clear scope to add value through refurbishment. Its large plot, parking provision and strong transport links make it a practical long-term family purchase, provided buyers are willing to budget for updating and potential works.
