This compact Victorian mid-terrace offers three bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom within walking distance of Ipswich waterfront, the university and local amenities. Sold freehold and priced for an accessible first purchase or buy-to-let opportunity, it benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and an EPC rating of C.
The house is small at approximately 549 sqft with a small rear garden and standard ceiling heights. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), it will suit buyers who accept modest room sizes and potential upgrade work — insulation, cosmetic updating and possible surface repairs may be needed to maximise comfort and rental appeal.
Location is a key strength: within the Copleston School catchment (subject to availability), close to good primary and secondary schools, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and short walks to transport links. Note the local area shows higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation; purchasers should weigh this against the convenient central setting and rental demand near the university.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into Ipswich or an investor targeting a city-centre terrace with rental potential. Early internal inspection is recommended to assess condition, refurbishment scope and exact usable space.
